[QUOTE="hawaiiancobra, post: 15649962, member: 45004"] I wash my engine bay by hand with soap and water and rinse very well , the alternator should be completely dry before you start that motor and run it , I use a blower to dry my engine and blow out the water in the alternator , water will kill it yes , how do I know , I did eventually kill it , not the first time I washed the engine but one of those times and didn't let it dry completely and it went out on me and I took it to have it rebuilt and the guy said do I wash my engine? I said yes , he said the damage was caused by not drying it and running it before it was dry , he gave me better electronics and better parts but still said to dry the alternator completely before starting the motor , [/QUOTE]
