What happens here
On 'Day 2', the preparation for cleaning begins. The presenter systematically disconnects various engine components. This includes removing the spark plug wires, unscrewing and removing the spark plugs, and covering the spark plug holes with small plastic bags to prevent water entry. He also removes the distributor cap and covers the entire distributor assembly with a plastic bag secured with electrical tape. Fuel lines are disconnected, and various electrical wires and connectors for components like the alternator and starter motor are carefully detached using a wrench and a DeWalt impact driver. Other openings are also covered to prevent water intrusion.
