Just this weekend I cleanded the motor and everything under the hood. I first wet the motor down (it was still on the warm side but I could rest my hand on it without having to remove it because it was too hot). Then I sprayed liberal amounts of "Greesed lightning" cleaner on small areas at a time, then brushed the area with a 2" trim paint brush (helps to get into small areas) then washed off each section before continuing to another. Of course I got out my trusty shop vac/blower
to push all the water of and out of the motor.
now the motor is nice and clean and looks fresh from the factory. I even did the same thing to the underside of the hood. One thing for sure, do not use high pressure wash, otherwise you may get water in places you do not want it (like the block by way of the rubber fittings around the breather and PVC valve).
