Message	Okay heres the situation. my 90 TT is on jack stnads with trans still attached to rear on top of a floor jack and the motor is out currently being rebuilt. So I was wanting to clean the engine bay while the engine was out but this is hard to do while the car is in the grage---I dont want to move the car until the engine is back in it. Any suggestions on how or what to use to clean the oil, dirt, muck out of the engine bay without damaging anything (ie wiring harness, etc)Thanks for any good suggestions ahead of time. Any products out on the market that work better than others. My brother and I are currently coating the cylinder heads, exhaust manifolds, turbo housings, cam shafts, valve springs and main rod bearings....we are planning on starting the actual rebuild the 2nd weekend in nov.
