degreasing a diesel engine

Post by MARKx4 »

I have recently purchased my first desiel 4x4, Isuzu MU with a 4JB1-T.
My question is what do i look out for and what to cover and where not to spray water when degressing?

Wether its necessary or not, i try to avoid hitting the AC compressor or the Alternator too much with the degreaser incase it ruins the bearings.
ummm... I also have an aftermarket alarm, which i cover with plastic before hosing. I actually keep it permanantely bagged now for creek crossings.

I've been told to steer clear of the mech injector pump and steering pump/box. This could just be because you don't want to wash off all the crud that's holding the oil in.
