I am fixing to do some powder coating on some of my engine parts, but I want to completely clean my engine and engine bay. Any tips, suggestions, or just plain out need to knows? Strut tower and Injen cold air are Metallic Blue soooo I am doing my header, valve cover and few other parts Metallic Blue as well , and later a few neons for under body and engine bay. Any info as far as distributor, fuse panel, wiring that I need to cover? And also any suggestions on degressers or cleaners that you all would recommend? I am borrowing a cam from abody of mine in Eclectic, AL so that I can get some pics up as far as before and after. Hope to have them up by next week.
Later

i've used foam brite before (from the auto parts store, a 4 dollar spray can or so) its a blue/orange can. spray it ALL over the engine bay, when its dry, not wet. cover your alternator, starter, battery, and your air filter. possibly anything else you might think u cant get wet. once you spray it, let it sit for a few minutes, then hose it down with water. it should work quite well and you should be pleasantly surprised

Anyone else? I'll be steam cleaning my engine tonight............just wanted some pointers.
i am not sure if this is the same thing Viper is talking about but i use this stuff
Gunk engine cleaner and i loved the results. You can get it at most parts stores for under 5 bucks

I usually just clean my engine with a rag and soapy water, and make sure I get everywhere. The only thing I cover is the air filter. I have pressure washed mine a couple times.
In regards to powder coating. I'm not really sure doing that to your header is best. Maybe ceramic coating.
