I'm working on a Massey Ferguson 165 with a Deisel engine. There's a lot of dust and grime on the surface of the engine. A rather sizable portion near the top looks to be wet with what I'm assuming is oil. (Doesn't smell like deisel) I'm thinking a leaking head gasket, but I don't think this tractor has been cranked in about a year. (Unless my brother has and didn't tell me.)
What is the best / quickest way to clean this? (I hope this doesn't sound like too dumb of a question, but..) If I disconnect the battery, could I hit it with a pressure washer and then immediately run a blower to dry it, with out doing any damage?
Thanks in advance for any help. I've attached some pics below.
Here's what it looks like near the top of the block. I'm not sure if you can realy see the glint of wettness I was talking about in this pic.
Here's a closer look.
There's also some dried on dust and grime.
It wouldn't be complete without showing you the power steering cylinder where a bird built its nest.
(I've removed the nest. Don't worry it was already empty.)
