Yeah, cleaning your engine is delicate work, but as long as you cover all the basics (alternator, air filter, breather, etc...) you should be able to spray some water on it. Personally I use a degreaser with a brush and then I use the Greased Lightning or Gunk to finish it off.

On another note...I'm thinking of painting my engine the same orange as my ride...anyone know of a good paint I can use???

i would take it to whoever painted the car, get the same paint they used, and let them paint whatever parts u want painted.
