when i wash my engine i have it running and then i go to a friend with a air compresser and blow all the water out of my spark plug Chamber what a dumb idea for the spark plugs to put them in those chamber!. i power washed my engine then got some engine degreaser. oh and if you wash with water try not to hit the coil packs straight on or your CAI filter i wouldnt even come close to with water. im sure someone with that knows a lil more about this will say somthin good luck!

Well, you can buy/rent the largest gas-powered high-pressure washer you can find, add the inline detergent and go to town, lol.

OR, you could maybe, just maybe, begin to use the Search feature on this site - almost every one of your posts across several of the forums could have readily been answered by yourself with little effort, and no waiting for a reply.

Nothing you've asked to-date has not already been covered dozens of times.

For instance, there are probably over 50 'how-to-clean-yer-engine' threads in recent memory.

Here's just one - took all of 5 seconds to find using Advanced Search: https://www.f150online.com/forums/sh...ht=wash+engine

Not flaming ya, but c'mon man, you ain't a noob anymore. Work with me here - Suck it up!
