best way to clean lt1?
So my motor is in need of a good cleaning. It has a msd opti on it. Im scared to take a power washer to this thing I dont want to mess anything up. Whats the best way to go about this?

If the above options are not enough.. break out some towels, plastic bags, and tape, and tape off and protect all of the electrical and the the opti... and even then dont directly shoot any of them....

I use a garden hose with my thumb over it, some soapy water and a big and small plastic brush. Power washer is overkill. The electrical connectors are made to keep water out, but I could see a power washer overpowering the connector seal. When I was learning auto body repair, during the detailing portion we learned to clean engine bays good. My instructor had seen power washers bug out car electronics before.

I use a paint-safe dereaser/all-purpose cleaner and a small electric pressure washer. I try not to spray the opti directly and have never had any problems. Mine has the vented opti though.
I also leave the engine running as well so everything dries faster.
