Engine Detailing - Engine noise?

[s1l3nced]

OK I've made a video.

You Tube

I've used a degreaser and then I used the finish on it to give it a glossy shine, however I'm paranoid (as usual) that I may have damaged something (I know, this is probably such a waste of a question but I'm paranoid so what do you expect?). Can you tell by this noise if the engine sounds normal, including belts..

Again I know this is retarded, it's 5am and I need to sleep >_< Thanks everyone.

It is hard to tell from the video. The hissing is usually from the throttle body. Check that all of the hoses are connected. Try using a spray lubricant on the pully locations at the alternator. Take it for a drive to see if it runs ok. Other than that it looks and sounds normal. Engine compartments are harsh environments and are designed to take a certain amount of weather related abuse. I have never had eny problems with washing engines. I have simply taken them to the car wash and use the high pressure soap and then the high pressure rinse to clean them. Then I take them home and use my small compressor to blow dry them.

I have looked at the video several times and it may be my imagination but the fuel line look kinked. Make sure all of the lines are not kinked.
