Q
is it okay to wash the engine of a car

Yes, it is generally okay to wash a car's engine, but it must be done carefully to avoid damaging sensitive components. Modern engines are designed to withstand some exposure to moisture, but direct high-pressure water can force water into electrical connectors and parts, potentially causing issues. Before washing, ensure the engine is cool and cover sensitive areas such as the alternator, air intake, and engine control unit. Use a degreaser for heavy grime, applying it according to the manufacturer's instructions. Rinse gently with low-pressure water or a damp cloth. It's advisable to do it in a well-ventilated area and not too frequently to prevent corrosion. Consulting your car's manual for specific advice or having a professional do it can prevent any unintended damage.
