how do i clean the engine and bay without damaging anything?

Aerospace 303 isn’t like silicone products that perish and deteriorate plastics and hoses etc. Does the opposite. Also is NOT greasy and shiny once it’s worked in. Brings things up like new.

Pressure cleaners, even what some describe as low powered units, can still blow water into sealed connectors. This can cause all sorts of issues, either straight away or some time down the track as corrosion sets in. It’s worse than on unsealed connectors which tend to dry out much easier and quicker. As such it’s best to avoid pressure cleaners if one can.

But having a beer helps the wash on a warm day

thanks for all the tips one more thing being a 6ltr is the alternator in the same spot as a ls1 or different due to the bigger block i have not seen past the inlet manifold and coils on rocket cover as it still has its front engine bay plastics and can only see under the engine between the k-frame and while im on that my new stato needs a p-bracket bush apparently its above the k-frame i double checked with my mechanic and he said it defenently called a p-bracket bush and asked super cheap about it as i brought all my new shocks and front link kit from them and they could not find it so any ideas on what else it can be called or even a part number if someone has it?

I do it myself with a can of degreaser, a bag over the alternator, a toothbrush and a garden hose. Haven't had an issue yet.

I prefer 2 cans of degreaser and the garden hose. I use the CRC degreaser, the cheap **** degreaser from SCA doesn't seem to work for me (there is probably a reason they sell the **** by the dozen). One thing I hate is the belts tend to squeal after a good degreasing session

Each unto their own but if you brush on degreaser and blow it off with compressed air you can avoid using water through a garden hose or a high pressure washer.
