[QUOTE="OldTimer, post: 5415012, member: 43897"] This looks so easy that I will try it this weekend. Since so many guys have advocated Simple Green I bought some to degrease as I do have a little build up from when I had a breather on my passenger side valve cover. So help out a first-timer here... is this a good 10-Step sequence? 1. Warm up engine for say 15 minutes? 2. Wrap exposed air filter with plastic. 2. Lightly spray some water on the engine. 3. Spray on the Simple Green and let sit for 5 minutes? 4. Use a parts brush to help loosen caked on gunk. 5. Lightly rinse with a garden hose. 6. Blow off excess water with a air hose or a leaf vacuum. 7. Apply the F21 on all exposed surfaces and close the hood. 8. After 15-20 minutes open the hood and wipe down everything. 9. Touch up areas with a rag and F21 sprayed onto it. 10. Re-start the engine to make sure all is well :). I'm not nuts about the concept of using a water powerspray (mine is 2600 psi) on an engine that might not like water forced into too many crevices... but that's just me. I had read where several guys have used their leaf blowers to blow out all the water. Typically, these blowers crank out 150-200 mph breeze that will evacuate almost any/all water droplets. My concern is obviously the plugs and coils... anyone want to comment on that? [/QUOTE]
