Can the engine be washed with water?

[DeAngelina]

Car engines can be washed with water. First, the engine must be washed while it is running, and the water gun should not be aimed at a specific component of the engine for an extended period. After washing, immediately use a high-pressure air gun to dry it, ensuring that no water enters the engine wiring harness connectors and preventing vehicle malfunctions. Below is an introduction to how car engines work: 1. The cylinder injects gasoline and air through the intake hole and fuel injection hole, fully mixing them inside the cylinder. When the spark plug ignites the mixture, it explodes and burns violently, pushing the piston downward and generating power. 2. The enormous pressure from the explosion also opens the exhaust hole of the one-way valve, expelling the exhaust gases. Subsequently, the residual exhaust gases inside the cylinder gradually cool, the pressure decreases, and the external atmospheric pressure pushes the piston upward, preparing for the next explosion.
