Default Cleaning Honda Engine Compartment - Need Advice

Joe.
I cover the distributor, and plug wires. You should cover any control units
you see under the hood. I use Sample Green and low pressure "my thumb over
the end of the garden hose to produce a mist. I do this once a year. When
you finish star the engine and let run to operating temp with the hood open.
You might here the belts squawk a bit but this is normal.
Hope this helps.
Mike
