Cleaning Your Engine
There are several reasons to wash your engine at least every year or two. A clean engine will run cooler than a dirty one which will help prevent any car problems.
You’ll be more inclined to make routinechecks such as of belts and hoses if you know you won’t get covered with grime every time you do so. A clean engine will also make it much easier for your mechanic to spot leaks and to service components during your routine car service.
Remember to protect sensitive engine components (including the air intake, distributor, and electrical parts) with plastic bags or wrap before getting started. Use dishwashing liquid or other grease-cutting detergents and a bristle brush to scrub engine and components surfaces. Rinse thoroughly. Heavy-duty engine cleaning products are available at automotive parts stores. Follow the directions carefully.
Another alternative is to have your engine professionally steam cleaned.
