Cleaning engine?
I new to the C-5 world and would like to know when cleaning the engine or engine bay are there places that shouldn't be squirted with chemicals or water due to sensors and electronics?
Thanks!

I would first try just wipiing it down with a damp towel.
If not, spray on simple green, let it sit for a minute and hose off.

Would definitely not use a high pressure washer on it - just a gentle stream of water. I agree with trying to wipe it down first before resorting to any excess water. If you do use water, just try and keep it off the electrical connectors as much as possible.
