mate i would use wd40, carb cleaner, engine degreaser (basically all the same product) to loosen the oil/grime then use a steam cleaner
 
Well if its the inside of the engine, don't go down the same road as the guy who decided to shove the hose into his filler cap and wash the engine through with water!! haha :toung:

Be cautious though even washing the outside of the engine with water or a steamcleaner, petrols don't like moisture!!
 
go to halfrauds and get engine de-greaser and engine laquer
both products are made from a company called gunk

do what it says on the tin (ha ha)
thats the easy part

things to cover when power washing off the degreaser
induction kit (if you have 1, normal airbox can be exposed)
fuse boxes
distributor cap
ecu if its in the bay (silver box)

the rest is ok, but dont power wash directly on to a altonator

what i do is,
get black refuse bags and wrap around the above parts well

electric wires in the bay are usally covered and even connected by scart connections
if you have bare wires showing, cover them too
