well i did a quick search, no luck, so i get to ask! So what all kinda stuff would i need to buy in order to clean my engine? Is there somethign besides sandpaper that would remove the rust on my stock headers? And, what about general dirt inside, what parts of the engine can i not get wet? Anything i need to remove so i could just use a hose, i realy have no idea. But it all looks so dirty, and i wanna clean it up like a lot of the engines i see on the ORG. Any ideas/suggestions/experiences?

SImply green and a hose. COver up your battery, and any other electical syuff you rather not replace. And sand paper wont help at all with a cast iron header. You can use sand paper and Mothers polish for your valve cover then use a high temp Clear coat to coat your valve cover, so the shine will last much longer.
Use dry rags around sentive areas and once a week do a touch up where needed.
Fact 1:
“Facts are meaningless. You could use facts to prove anything that’s even remotely
true.
well what are all the eletrcial things that i need to cover up/remove, besides the fusebox and the battery....would i need to remove the spark plug boots...or what? i'm not sure where anything else is located on my 96 Sunfire 2.2 L....i know junk like batt and fuses, lol, but where are the other things that would need to be removed or covered up?

I never really cover anything up, I just don't spray some parts of the engine. I generally go to the car wash with a can of Gumout Steam Premium (doesn't harm paint, but eats wax). Spray down the engine, wait a minute, then spray it off. Avoid getting degreaser and water on the belts, and keep the water spray away from the fuseblock. Make sure that if you have a WAI that you cover up the filter. If it's stock, then don't worry. Don't spray electrical connexions very much, they can leak if you beat them up with water. After you're done take a good drive on the freeway to get all the water out of there.
After it's all cleaned up, take the opportunity to touch up any paint damage on the block, or in the engine bay.
