I plan to remove the stock 76 2L in order to fix oil leaks, etc. I have read posts here about using brake cleaner to clean the engine. I have access to a pressure washer. Will this be an effective way to clean the engine (with degreaser, etc.)? What PSI works best (this unit has 2200 PSI)? Any things to watch out for when removing the engine (besides dropping it on my head)?

Don't forget to undo the tranny ground strap!
If you are going to pressure wash the engine, do it before you drop it. You can pull all the FI stuff out first, lableing the wiring harnes with tape tags. It makes it simpler when you put it back. Geoff |
