Pressure washing the 6v92

[jburgessx2@...]

I wanted to clean up the oil mess on the 6v92 motor using a pressure washer. Is
there anything I need to do or be careful with? I just plan on doing the bottom
where all the oil/dirt gathers then falls on the toad. Should I leave it running
while I do this?

Jerry, We have pressure washed my engine so many times that I couldn't count. You can leave it off or running. With this mechanical engine, I have had no problems. You can use some good degreaser, also Ernie Ekberg 83PT40 Wanderlodge Weatherford, Tx 817-475-3991 www.ernieekbergflooring.net --- On Fri, 1/8/10, jburgessx2@... wrote: From: jburgessx2@...

Keep the alternator dry.

Thanks Ernie. I thought it was okay but just wanted to check.

Try not to freeze there. It was cold here today too - only made it to 69 degrees

The engine should be warm when you wash it to promote drying and lack of puddles on the block. It will help dry the harness if you drown it Gary 85pt40 --- On Fri, 1/8/10, pattypape wrote: From: pattypape Subject: [WanderlodgeForum] Re: Pressure washing the 6v92 To: WanderlodgeForum@yahoogroups.com Date: Friday, January 8, 2010, 7:14 PM Keep the alternator dry.

Degreaser is great but I would never wash a running motor. You could get water in the oil Gary 85pt40 --- On Fri, 1/8/10, jburgessx2@... wrote: From: jburgessx2@...
