Most offective of really cleaning a engine

Wow... my tiburon's engine is one of the ugliest mofos you've ever seen... damn blonde chicks... so I wanted to know how to clean it in depth so you can get to those hard to reach spots... I used some of the surface work with some of that Orange Blast which works good... cleaned the container of the power steering fluid, hoses, engine, etc... but it still looks ugly... any tips?

Orange spray anything works good. Also use Brake Cleaner. Works good all over. I use those 2 and a tooth brush. Takes time, so have patients. Your engine probly isnt as dirty as mine was, so it should go pretty quick.

P.S. Dont use the toothbrush in your mouth after cleaning the engine!! LMAO

DONT USE BRAKE CLEANER ON PLATSIC OR HOSES! It makes the plastic brittle and dissolves hoses. Best bet is to go to a carwash and use the preassure washer with some degreaser, give it a good spraying with some soapy water and rince clean. Or you could sit there with a tooth brush for hours on end
