Thanks to Dell and Tom and others for helping me out with this problem! I much appreciate Pooh and his very clear definition of the term "wallered". I hope Matt wasn't referring to me in HIS post and that Dell understood the question. I REALLY did not understand what he meant but the clarification given made this obvious. I'll have a lot of questions in the coming months and I can fix just about anything if I get good instruction.....just remember to speak vvveeerrryyy slowly. (grin)

Will be powerwashing the greasy old thing this weekend. I probably don't want to hit the distributor but are there any other water sensitive areas to avoid?

"water sensitive areas to avoid?"....anything electrical.

Longer version...did the same as you plan to do. I also use oven cleaner as a degreaser in the "nastier" areas. When hosing it down, it splattered on to other places (wiring, connections). I ended up doing more electrical work than planned. Yes, it needed to be replaced anyway but happened sooner than later. HTH.....don t. .....

I sort of figured on the electrical not to hit the resistor block or spray up under the dash. I was also thinking that if fluids could leak out of an area that a high pressure spray might leak in or make the leak worse. So I thought I would use it to clean off the solid areas and maybe hand clean the areas where parts come together and a gasket is leaking. I just don't need any more work than I already have and don't want to end up costing myself unnecessary $$.

I'm gonna offer something here to think about.
I was told (I have no actual experience) that
it is not a good idea to pressure wash engines or
gearboxes with any type of grease cutter.
The reason given is you could force some of the
grease/oil dissolver into the engine/gearbox and
it can be very bad for the innards which expect clean oil.
And that once you got it into greased bearings,
only thing you can do is flush them out and repack the bearing with grease.
Otherwise the grease dissolver stays in there and
eats away at the grease in the bearings.
This mite be very bad for front wheel bearings.

Like I said, I have no actual experience.
But it is something for you to consider.
If thick oil can leak out then thin water can leak in.
Especially if that thin water is under pressure.

Make sure and check your oil.

That was my thinking exactly. What a bummer to have a nice running engine and blast some water and grease eater into the innards.
