Don't put it in the dishwasher, unless you want to damage and permanently contaminate your dishwasher. This is very silly, as the slick and particles and stuff from your engine will be stuck forever in your dishwasher - and subsequently will contaminate your dishes for many months to come.

Not worth it. Buy a used dishwasher ($50) or simply have your parts washed at the machine shop where they have industrial washers, and it will probably cost you about $40.
