Thanks for the info, but I'm still wondering how to clean the engine. I have a special cleaner from Jakel that works great on Aluminum, but it must be washed off. It could be done with a simple water hose, but again I worry about screwing something up. My engine is from a 1996 Z28 Camaro, so I know it has the improved Optispark dist.
I thought about upgrading the GM Optispark to an MSD unit, but Mark at Street and Performance said to stick with the GM product, because they have had problems with aftermarket Optispark dist.. I have had great performance from everything I have bought from MSD. It does surprise me. Thanks!

That is where your distributer is. It will take in water and you will destroy it. Costs about 400- 500 to replace it. That is just the part alone. I had my engine detailed by someone who did not know, it cost me major bucks to get it right after that incident.
