Reply To: Engine Cleaning

Jim,

I was concentrating on NAs when I did my research on miata.net. Electrical is basically the main concern. I wrapped my alternator in Aluminum foil and tried not to spray directly at it. Plug wells are vulnerable, I tried not to get too much pressure near them, and still ended up having to blow them out with compressed air. I wrapped electrical connectors and fuse boxes with foil as well. I then wiped them down as I uncovered them. No problems there. I used all purpose degreaser and a round soft plastic brush, took my time, probably 2 hours work. But the results were very gratifying. Of course that was last year and it needs another good cleaning. I’m afraid that’s all I got. Good luck on your project.
