cover the spark plugs up and wires with some aluminum foil (thats what i used because it bends around everything nicely and fits around everything. get a small tire cleaning brush and degrease the entire motor.. let it sit for a while to set it.. then get a hose i find the highpressure mist setting works the best while srubbin it with the brush.. if its still dirty just repeat a few times and it should start to clean right up. mine came out nicely!

go to your local coin car wash, and see if they allow engine cleaning, if not there will be a huge sign saying no engine cleaning. then, if they do, take seran wrap and cover the spark plug wires and intake and throttle body(wrap a rubber band around the seran wrap). then wait for the engine to cool off(some people like it hot b/c some say the degreaser breaks up the grease faster when the engines warm). Then spray on the degreaser, let it sit for about 5 min, then use the mist spray. followed by a power wash, but not to powerful or else water will work its way under the wrap. yea, thats about it.
