I'm sure they are another archeological discovery.
I sure hate a dirty looking engine. Do you guys advise one way or the other spraying down the engine at a car wash? Of course putting water on a hot anything is bad... maybe I let it cool. Any issues with the ignition getting wet and not being able to start it?

Some people hose down the engine, but if I was going to clean the engine I would just take a damp rag with soapy water or maybe a mild detergent/cleaner like simple green and wipe it clean.
