Whats the best way to clean my engine bay?

question explains itself.

Answer:

Roast 'em in olive oil - or any fat really - just as you would a traditional potatoChuck a few garlic cloves and some rosemary around, too Bake them in their jackets and add butter, salt and freshly ground black pepper - just like a traditional potatoIn fact, anything you can do with the humble spud, you can also do with the sweet varietyI've never tried making chips, mind, but should work !
1 1/2 lbs(675 g) yellow sweet potatoes Water 1 large or 2 medium broccoli crowns 2 C(480 ml) cooked beans, drained (pinto, kidney, or white) 1 large tomato, chopped 1/4 C(60 ml) chopped fresh cilantro 2 Textra virgin olive oil 2 to 3 Tlemon juice Salt and pepper to taste Pinch or two of cayenne pepper (optional) Peel sweet potatoes and cut them into slices 3/4-inch (1.5 cm) thickPlace them in a 2-quart (2 liter) saucepan with about 1/2-inch (1 cm) of waterCover and bring to a boil over high heatReduce heat to low and steam them until tender, about 6 to 8 minutesCut them into bite-size pieces and put them into a large bowlCut broccoli into florets and steam in a separate saucepan until tender, about 4 to 5 minutesTransfer them to the bowl with the sweet potatoesAdd the beans along with the chopped tomato, cilantro, olive oil, and lemon juice and season to taste with salt and pepperIf desired, add a touch of spice with a pinch or two of cayenne pepperMakes 4 to 5 servings.
Don't use a pressure washer or do it at the car washThe high pressure can force water into electrical connectors and cause problemsWith the engine warm to the touch, not hot, spray it all over with Gunk Engine DegreaserBuy it at the parts storeLet it soak about 10 minutes and spray it off really good with a garden hose You can cover the electronic parts such as the computer module,alternator, fuel injection parts with plastic bags or aluminum foil and spray on the Gunk,then use a pressure washer if you are careful to not directly spray these partsStart it right away and let it warm up to dry it.
