Howdy -
I like Simple Green on my 78 240D.. I mist the engine area with light
spray from the garden hose, then spray with SG, allow to work for 15 or 20
min, then spray it off with the hose. I make sure I don't saturate any
little black boxes - other than that I hose everything down.
Once I finish spraying I start the engine and warm it by driving it
around the block a couple of times. I believe this forces the drying
process and gets all the moisture out of the cracks & crevices.

Subject: [MBZ] Engine Cleaner/Cleaning Engine
Now that I have completed a strech of working 30 of the last 36 nights
(refueling outages are busy times at the old nuke plant), I believe I need
to politely asking Mr. Jim Friesen for an in the garage lesson on valve
adjusting. Before I do my engine needs a good cleaning to prevent stern
finger wagging. It appears sometime after I didi the power steering PM
(purge, swap to M1 ATF, change filter) the seemingly good cap gasket
partly failed spewing fluid all over. Of course the fluid acted as a dirt
magnet...and the fluid, having been soaked into the hood pad, is now in
the process of eating it away.
What have we collectively decided is the best stuff to use? Do we do it
cold or at temp? Car wash pressure or garden hose?
