i was listening to a radio show about cars when i was on vacation. they had martha stewart on. and she said to clean your engine using a steamer. steam clean your engine!

how the heck... wont that like ruin a hose or something? i want to do that cause im a neat freak. but is it safe? i know that your engine gets extrememly hot. but how about the hoses and wires? battery terminals etc?

wont that screw up something?

Don't listen to Martha Stewart. If you want to know how to clean your engine than do a search. I have posted many things on cleaning engines already.

I own a pressure washer and have always used it to clean my engine in the past. I never used any type of cleaner because you don't want any of that stuff getting on your paint even if it is diluted. The best thing to do is, just pop your hood every other time you wash you car and wash everything and rinse it off. Nothing will build up and it will stay looking new as possible.

is it ok for water to get on the alternator when u wash out the engine

Yea, you just wouldn't want water entering your distributor or spark plug cylinders. This really isn't an issue on the k1/k2 civics.

Wipe it off with hot water by hand, I know that my audio and strobe wires from the battery would be bad for steam cleaning... not to mention getting any high pressure hot water in the fuse box or vtec electronics

Oops! Forgot about the fuse box. Just cover it with some regular plastic wrap out da kitchen. Pressure cleaning you engine will be fine.
