Engine Cleanup
Ive got a 96 12v and need to clean the engine up of some oil leaks and dirt. I know pressure washers are a killer on some vehicles under the hood. Whats the best way to wash the engine without messing things up?

I thought 12v's didnt have much electronics.. I know with my 07 Chevy, I stuff a rag in the airbox intake, and spray everything with simple green.. alot of it.. and then I break out the pressure washer and go crazy..

Make sure to re- rinse the outside of the truck after doing this, inevitably, some of the stuff will end up on your paint.
