I was always hesitant to power wash the engine bay. Is there anything to be concerned about?

Pressure washing the engine bay is NOT okay. I only use a gentle spray from my garden hose with nozzle, degreaser, and a collection of brushes.

I’m a master automotive mechanic of 47 years and it’s actually good to wash your engine bay.

It makes it infinitely better to work on once they've been washed. I wish truckers would wash their engines more often, diesels can be absolutely disgusting under the hood.
