Back in the old days, I remember a gas station that offered steam-cleaning
services for engines. Is this method safe for Spitfires? Or is there an
easier/better/do-it-yourselfer way to thoroughly clean the gunk and grime
without messing up the electrical system? As long as I keep the coil and
distributor covered with plastic, is there any harm in using a high-pressure
sprayer on a cold engine with some commercially available degreaser? Any
tips?
Also, I will be taking delivery next week on the '69 Mk3 I purchased on
eBay. Any suggestions on precautions I should take before driving for the
first time (besides checking tires, brakes, clutch, all fluid levels, etc.)?
Thanks in advance!
