    Engine bay revival

    What's the best way to go about power washing my engine bay? Like what degreaser is good that won't cloud my paint

    Currently have whole engine out
    removed condenser
    Pulled back body harness to fuse box
    Abs is still In, think ill just bag it and clean around it
    What's good with the engine bay insulation should I junk that shit?

    Tryin to throw this motor in but I wanna clean it nice nice before I get started

    Also thinking about re warping the harness since that tape is shit
    Also a bunch of my connectors broke

    I've used this degreaser called zep industrial strength, works good just don't get it on your hands. i sprayed that all over and scrubbed and a lot of junk came off.
    it would be best to use a power washer but if you don't want to rent one or buy one. i boiled hot water after i scrubbed and dumped the hot water and it left the bay pretty clean. a little time consuming but its worked for me

        while its out, and if you clean it really well, consider repainting it also
