Watered down degeaser.
Simple green or something like that.....cant remember the exact name of it....

Use watered down simple green. Go easy though. That s**t will remove any branding you may have on your engine. Don't let it sit too long... and make sure the engine is cool VERY COOL.

i just goto the car wash. spray on some simple green then just wash it all off very lighty with the gun. I dont even put pressure on it. Just let the water run out. Then I dried it all off and used this engine spray my brother has that shines everything up.
Be sure to bag around the plugs. I found the plug wire dont seal to good and I ended up with moisture in there. Then it sat all winter and its all rusted up in there now. Prolly not a good thing but w/e not like this engine is going to last for ever anyway.

You can spray it safely with a garden hose but never never a pressure washer.

pressure washers are only good for cleaning the driveway.
