Dismantle a maximum of stuff (like air box, overflow reservoir, ...) and use some product like thrichloretelene or digrease stuff. From my experience specific engine cleaning products won't do much...

how else are you gonna get into all the little crevases and holes? smartass...

most of the other stuff will come off with the simple green, work it in a bit with a bigger brush or a rag, and hose it down, cover your battery, distributor, and ignition coil

Hey, don't knock the toothbrush. I'm using a hard bristled one, and it is working so far. 1/2 engine clean so far!
