I know I saw this before but I can't find it. I went off roading this weekend and went through some deep mud and water. What's the best way to clean the dirt off the engine???? |

I had a local detail shop steam clean my engine for around $25. It looks showroom new and have no problems after 3 or 4 cleanings. It's better than dowsing the engine with water! |

Only wash your engine when it is cold.
Regular old car washing soap and water works best for me. I generally lather everthing up and let it soak for a couple of minutes. I then rinse thoroughly using a regular hose. I try to avoid the temptation to use a pressure cleaner on the engine.
I use the Castrol Engine Cleaner on the stubborn stuff (don't let it stay on too long!). Also, Mineral Spirits work great. To clean the stubborn stains off the rubber parts, I use WD40.
Thanks,
