A little greasy, but clean nonetheless. Good job!

You have to be veeeeeeerrrrry careful cleaning a jz engine if anyone else is considering cleaning their engine bay. Water tends to seep into the spark plug galley causing starting problems amongst other things. So any else attempting to do this just take the proper steps in covering a few essential areas with Terry cloths or towels and clean those areas by hand instead of pressure washing looks fantastic though

I just had to rip off the entire top half to change plugs and wires and clear the galley out over this.

I was careful not to spray anything as well. D'oh

I used Motorcycle cleaner S100. And it looks greasy because I used s100 engine brightener aftwerwards. The camera flash makes it look greasy but in person it has a nice glossy finish(sorry about that camera lol)

If u wanna spray ur engine down leave it running. That's prevent from ur sparks getting water in them. Still be careful though cuz there are other things that the water can get into and mess up..
