How would you clean an automobile engine? I heard an Engine degreaser works well, but is it safe and can it cause any damage to the engine. Is it safe to spray water over the engine? Thanks everyone for your responses.

I`d spend extra and take it to a steam cleaner service. That can be a nasty job.

Some times everything works great,Then sometimes water get in the wrong places and all kinds of bad things will happen.Everything from check engine light,to not letting the car start after cleaning.If you do clean it hope all works out ok.

Extremely short answer: Stay away from the distributor cap.
Slightly longer answer: If you use a degreaser, rinse it off well and you may have to rinse and repeat depending on the severity of the grease.

The stuff you spray then rinse with water is safe. I have used it before. Its ok to get your engine wet as long as your wires arnt bare

buy some degreaser in a spray bottle..dilute it with some water so it doesnt kill your wires.... some shampoo and a brush would work also.. then just hose it down
