Lightbulb Cleaning the engine

I was thinking of cleaning my engine of gunk and spilled oil. Was wondering what you guys would sudgest I use to clean the dang thing. How should I go about it? I believe that I have a leak from the valve cover gasket so i will be replacing that after cleaning the outside. Any tips on what solvent to use? Product i should look for? I have the local RS Strauss, Autobarn and Pep Boys near so... please help.

thanks.

Lightbulb

May be a little late but...

there are some products that are electrical, plastic and rubber parts friendly.

I've used a couple, both bio-degradable which is very pleasing too.

You got to be carefull when rinsing it though.

p.s. Whatch you eyes and skin.
