Going to clean the engine with a spay on engine cleaner. Any precautions I should take? Maybe cover the alternator? Anything else? Thanks

Carefully read and follow the mfg's application instructions.

Well, I've only had my car for about 2 months but I don't know that I would spray this engine with any kind of degreaser. Seems like there are to many expensive parts on this engine that I would not take a change on hosing it down. For me it's actually a joy to clean it by hand. This also helps me inspect everything as I clean. But let us know how it goes if you do proceed. Good luck.

How do you guys clean the corroded/stained aluminium parts?

there is no way to clean that on engine
you take the parts off, you polish

if you want a clean engine, and you want to spray products, do not use agressive stuff
spray W40 after that, to avoid corrosion
it might smoke a bit for 30 min, but that's ok
