Questions about cleaning engine and engine bay

[poikle27]

Hi Friends,

So finally started driving my Z around after getting the engine resealed and there's a ton of built up oil and gunk everywhere due to it leaking badly for god knows how long.

I know this is very unsafe, so I need to take care of the problem asap. I've never done anything like this, as my previous cars never needed it done. Any suggestions on how to proceed? What products do you guys use? Whats the process? Etc.. Any and all help is very much appreciated

*on a side note, car is running well, and just put in an order to CZP for shifter bushings, jpec front bumper, and clear corners
*car will also go in for new paint in a couple weeks

Grab a case of this stuff and go to town: http://www.autozone.com/autozone/access ... 219615_0_0_

Make sure your area is well ventilated. What it doesn't get off will be very easy to wipe down.

Autozone has heavy duty degreaser just go to the closest car wash with a wand, let your car completely cool off, cover every inch in the heavy duty gel degreaser let it sit for 15-30 mins then pressure wash it off, dont get to close cause you could rip through stuff, then just get some dialetric grease and put it in all connectors and spray wd-40 on your connectors repeat as many times as needed to get clean

p.s i always leave my car running when i just pressure wash it off but the degreaser burning from the hot parts on the engine will f*** your world up just fyi
