The first time I clean my engines, I use one of the foamy engine cleaners to get as much off as possible. Now, every time I was my truck, I wet the engine, spray it with 409 household cleaner, then fill the wash bucket, and wash out the engine comparment with the hose end sprayer. This seems to keep my engines clean, and continues to clean anything not gotten in a previous was. 409 also works great for cleaning the white outlines on the tires.
