Default Cleaning an engine

If you had an engine that was oily, what would be a good way to clean it? Is there such thing as getting it steam cleaned?

Yup but I wouldn't recommend it. By some gunk foamy. Spray it on watch it work, hose it off.

+1, i just used this stuff to clean mine. spray it on, let it soak, then carefully wash off with hose
making sure not to get electrical stuff too wet.

Works great, took about 2.5 cans to clean really dirty engine good.

get it at Autozone for like $3/can
