The only thing I ever cover is my intake cover. I then spray absolutely everything with Simple Green, and I spray it very generously. I let it sit for 10-15 minutes, then I put the garden hose on a mist setting and spray everything off. The only time I will put it on a constant stream is when I angle it in the valve cover to get the suds out of where the spark plug wires are attached.
wouldnt that get into the holes where the spark plugs are?
