Any advice on cleaning a cossie engine bay. I have read that steam cleaners / pressure washers should not be used and the best thing is to use paraffin and a brush as no water is required. I was planning on using gunk and a hose but guess this is not advisable, any advice please.

 

gunk is sound for the head and below for the rocker you can go into halfords and get a kit called an engine detailer kit, that works wonders.

when you put the gunk on leave it for as long as you can . then scrub it in with a nice hard brush .
then wash it all away with nice hot soapy water.

bobs your unkle.

do not use a pressure washer please !!!!!!
more harm than good. ford have shite electrics any way let alone if you hammer water into them.

use wheelclean!!
when i worked as polisher we used (Lahega) Wheelcleaner and the enginebay looked as new

 

Oops Well i only have a small presure washer
But i did my engine head and block and the gear box With GUNK and like ben said leave it on for as long as pos i got the FOAM action one in the can and a whole can did my whole engine and gearbox And they where covered in think oil all over
I have a oil leak so i have cleaned it to try and find it But GUNK is bloody good stuff

away you go no problem
