I hope you didn't get any water down your plug wells. -will cause a Check Engine Light and fouled plugs. It's worth a check even if you think you're safe to remove the cover and pull the wires (keeping track of order of course) Don't drive it til you check. The top of the engine seems to funnel anything toward the plug wells -very common problem with engine cleaning especially the first time (how would I know?:)
Very good solution with the oven cleaner I hope every bit of it has been rinsed off. I like the old sock 'mitten' cleaning rag method.
Have fun,
