Subject:Cleaning the engine bay...

Hi All,
Just got my new (to me) �89 Syncro camper� the first
thing I want to do is clean the heck out of it� it
isn�t in bad shape but hey, detail it from the start,
right!
Anyway � question about cleaning the engine bay�
This engine is really coated with road grime and dust�
yes, I know if I clean it, it will get dirty again
but� I gotta do it.
The local car wash has a engine cleaner setting� it
sprays some degreaser, then you�re supposed to wash
the out side of the car while the engine soaks, then
spray the engine bay with low pressure water to rinse
off the gunk� I use it on my other cars (Toyota and
Subaru) just fine every spring but anyone offer any
warnings or cautions (I know ~ use LOW pressure).
Anything, like vulnerable wiring/connections/computers
that I should avoid? Their location in the engine
bay�?
Alternate method to clean the engine bay?
Thanks,
Al
