hahaha

if water has gotten under the rocker cover then it prob has been mixed with the oil. which is not a good thing. check the oil cap underneath to see if the oil has white blotches.

u havent put the hose in the exhaust to clean it out have u?

[Jolinator]

your coils are probly taking a bath in water, rip the coil pack cover off , take the coils out, wipe em etc, can used compressed air if your feeling slack

have fun

Cleaning your engine bay needs to be done the long way, by hand.

What about steam cleaning?

[ossie_21]

Water = steam, obviously it won't be as bad because it's not coming out at a few litres a minute, but it could have the same effect. Personally I wouldn't take the risk with all the sensors & wires you can come across.

mmm i fixed my car and serviced it put mobil 1 fully synthetc oil in and new coolant and now it runs SO SMOOTH can't even hear the engine when idleing hahah thanks dudes for the help yea the bop bop was gorn the spark plugs where having a bath in there heheh

I was wondering about the best way to clean the engine bay also.

Seen a panel shop cleaning a car and they were using a high pressure hose into the engine bay, and I was like WTF!!

[Chi100188]

normally the water doesn't get in due to my sealing ontop of the rocker cover was cracked/old it got it....its ok to high pressure blast it but just try to stay away from all the electricals but a rag and degreaser is best way i think

I've had this happen to me before when I got the car detailed. They sprayed in the engine bay and got water in the plugs. It was a fun drive home ... after a few days of driving it was back to normal though. If I get the car detailed now, I specifically say to leave the engine bay alone.

[Chi100188]

hahahah yea mmm all normal now so im happy and running smooth as

spark plugs would have been the first thing iwould have checked. pretty common
