My engine compartment was the worst for me. I went through soiled water that was 3-4ft deep, and once it hit the fan, it went everywhere. Before that I was just going through mud and I popped the hood at one point and there was barely anything. Ill go play in the mud, but no more going through water for me. Lol. Good luck with the clean up; nothing really takes it off unfortunatly. I used a ton of simple green, a hose and the brush.

My engine also started missing a couple days after my excursion. Water got in a couple of the spark plug wells and it took a while for it to actually cause problems. So I cleaned out the engine bay, blew out the spark plug wells, and replaced them at the same time since the water corroded them pretty bad.

The cleanup sucks but mudding sure is fun!
