Engine Bay Detail Updates??

My 05 engine is filthy and like others I'm dead afraid to ruin anything by trying to clean it. I know connectors are water tight but what about the coil packs, problem being the dirtiest part of my engine right now are the valve covers which 4 coil packs sit atop on each side. Is it ok to blast the engine with water and not have issues with it, like someone else I remember doing this to my 95 zr2 and it not starting till I let it dry out for a few hours, and do not want a repeat of that.

Did you check out my reply earlier in the thread?

 

Avoid doing it when the engine is hot and no pressure washer and you'll be fine!

I did but didn't see anything discussing the coil packs because I would need to spray pretty much directly onto them as I have a layer of crud built up on my valve covers underneath them. Maybe I will get the courage to tackle it this upcoming weekend, thanks for the quick response on this Nick.

They'll be fine, but if you are that worried about it, just use some APC and a brush, then wipe down with a damn towel for your "rinse."

 

Low pressure water is your friend.

Remove the coil packs and clean under them. Then regular cleaning should make it unnecessary to remove them again
