Cleaning the engine
Engines are more efficient when
they are clean because grease and
dirt buildup keep the engine
warmer than normal. When
washing:
Take care when using a power
washer to clean the engine. The
high pressure fluid could
penetrate the sealed parts and
cause damage.
Do not spray with cold water to
avoid cracking the engine block
or other engine components.
Cover the highlighted areas to
prevent water damage when
cleaning the engine.
Never wash or rinse the engine
while it is running; water in the
running engine may cause
internal damage.
