Sounds like a steam cleaning would be the way to go! Then use simple green every few months to keep it clean.

I use simple green on a warm, not hot, motor. Spray on, wait 5-10 minutes and rinse. Follow up with the armour all foamy tire dressing. Take a short drive to dry then pop the hood. You will be amazed.

^^ Do you cover anything up. Im going to do it tomorrow and was wondering if I sould cover any parts up. Or will evey thing be fine if I use the mist spray on the garden hose to lightly wash the simple green off.

dont need to cover anything up. i personally just try not to spray the battery or alternator.

i spray the motor down w/ simple green and let sit for 10min. then, spray off w/ a hose (no pressure washer). let it dry, then wipe things off a bit and get rid of water spots. then, i spray it down really well w/ tire foam. havent had any issues on my 97GT or 00GT at all doing this
