    Wanting to pressure wash exterior of engine that is removed from vehicle - the headers and intake is removed - what is best way to seal up to wash it ? Could I take a piece of sheet metal - and rtv across the holes ? Reattach the valve covers same way w RTV just to cover some things up ? Thoughts
    The foil tape was just to keep dirt etc out for the moment

    Was waiting on other replies here but since no one has chimed in I will

    I would reattach all covers. Tape everything else up. Use oven cleaner and rinse well.

    Also to avoid flash rust of any cast iron components you can dilute your water with a rust inhibitor.

    I would do this.

    I don't trust RTV to hold up against a pressure washer.
