Can i wash an engine bay with a pressure washer???
So as some of you heard, i fell into a mud puddle with my jeep. Washed off the outside and tried to get underneath as good as i could...came out pretty clean. Yesterday cleaning out hte inside, i found some left over washer fluid, went to put it in to see that my engine bay is caked in mud, oops. Manifold is covered, battery has a solid covering...no idea how the mud even got that high....
My question is...can i go to a wand wash place...and pop the hood and get in there with a pressure washer...or whats the best idea for cleaning?
(apparenlty thats where that intermittent squeal, probably a layer of mud on the various belts).

Good for you. I know people who grind metal without any eye protection and have been doing so for many years and have never had a problem.

Make sure you carry some WD40 in case your distributor cap gets water inside it. Put a plastic bag over the cap if possible.
Other than that, you should be fine.
talk about goin for a swim?
That was before the water was coming in the window.5 liters of water in my newly rebuilt motor, 1 ruined carpet, cellphone, door speaker, pair of boxer shorts etc etc
