I'm thinking about pressure washing my engine to get some build up grease that is in the lower part of the engine behind serpentine belt system. Is this a good Idea?? Should i avoid this??? Thanks in advance.

i use my power washer all the time. i just use grocery bags to cover the alternator, and disconnect the neg battery terminal for safe measure.





get some degreaser, a wire brush, and the power washer, and have always had great results.





i did my bonne a couple weeks ago, heres how it turned out

i use with good results, those 3 dollar wire wheels. they have them in all sorts of sizes. i just start with a 3 inch and work my way down to the smaller ones as the space calls for it. if you have a dremel, the mahe them too. those work for those real tight spaces.
