After: Too much sun so I had to get in closer for this one and the plastic bag is still wrapped around my alternator..lol.

yup..on a setting to spread the pressure around so it wasn't too heavy.
WOW, I'm in MA and my engine doesnt get that dirty, winter is no joke in Ontario huh? Good job on the engine, next time get in there and scrub a little more. I never knew you were supposed to cover your alternator?

when i worked up there for tony graham toyota, we used 2200 psi machine all day on engines. Never had a problem. Can't remember if we covered alternator all the time or not, but I know we did sometimes, or we kept it running.

yeah, I was taught to make sure the engine is cool and to cover the alternator. When I had the intake and grounding kit I covered the filter and the block from the grounding kit.
