best way to clean engine? Options

[illneversellmyce...]

I tried with a degreaser and many rags and toothbrushes and barely made a dent in the grime lol. The only thing i can think off is steam cleaning. i know you have to protect all electrical components. Is this the only way to really clean your engine good? how do you guys do it. i have a feeeling ill screw something up if i steam it

I used engine degreaser aerosol from autozone, at the carwash late late at nite... fumes were lethal* make shure your engine and manifold have cooled to the point you can touch and not burn. wait the 10-15 min like the can says, then hose that sucker off good/ DONT spray your fuses, plug wires, or any other electronics in the bay*

i say late at night because im pretty shure its frowned upon to have those chemicals running down the drain / but so is a no cat 3 in turbo back exhaust system and nobody dogs them on this site haha

so tree huggers dont even get on my back about this!
