Parts cleaner and WD40 are your friends. When you get into the engine, cleanliness is definitely next to godliness. Cylinder walls must be as close to spotless as you can manage, with any specs of dirt & grit removed. To make things seal you're going to need clean surfaces, so parts/brake cleaner, some Scotchbrite and a wire brush are vital. If something's dirty, clean it well.

Luckily there was no damage, but it did mean pulling out the engine and taking off the cylinder heads to check everything and to remove the remains of the spray nozzle. And los angeles city income tax just this week I've had to replace the alternator.
