you really should expand that vocabulary dude.

is there a reason you don't wanna use "engine degreaser" for degreasing the engine compartment? does it melt rubber and stuff?

I've used Simple Green on my engine bay and it works good. I sometimes use a scrub brush to get the major gunk but its good stuff.

GUNK is an engine degreaser that is safe to use. We used to use it when some dipstick lube tech forgot to put the oil cap back on...[&o][:@]

I'd go with GUNK, cus it's specifically for engine degreasing. Get the foamy stuff if you can
