I clean my engine fairly often. I learned a trick a while ago that works great. With the engine off, I spray degreaser thru the fan and get as much of the top of the engine as possible - then let sit. While sitting, I clean the rest of the top of the engine with a warm soapy rag (just using dish soap).

After the degreaser has sat for about 5 min, I start the engine and spray the hose, full pressure, into the fan. The fan dispurses the water all over the top of the engine. I do this for 5 minitues or so. I also gently rinse the rest of the engine compartment.

I heard that this is how they clean engines on the race cars and I've been doing it for years.
