Shampoo fears ! 850

I clean all 3 of my bricks engines regularly. I always warm up the engine before, and leave the hood up to let it dry. The only time I had a problem was when the plug wires were worn, engine missed and got check engine light. The light went out after a few start / stop cycles, and I replaced the plug wires. It is a good idea to keep engine clean, there are many electrical parts / contacts that can be effected by built up grease and dirt. Also, replace the oil fill cap o ring, it will keep the oil off the top of the engine. I see so many 850's with oil on the covers due to a $2.00 part.
