Question: is 3000 PSI too much power to clean an engine? Could water sprayed at 3000 PSI sprayed into an engine bay hurt or harm either the engine or electrical components?
Would I be better off with a 1700 PSI rig? Your opinion is appreciated.....

I've been down the pressure washing PSI road before. Stick to 1200-1300 PSI for the engine compartment, staying at least 2 feet away from fragile areas at that PSI. 1700 is way too high, don't get that anywhere near your paint!
