Cleaning in the engine compartment
Any suggestions on how to best clean all the grime and undercoating in my engine compartment? I have removed the engine and I want to clean everything before I put the engine back in.

idk about what to use with the engine out...but for a quick job before a show or something i like to use simple green...and dont dilute it...it gets the dirt and grime right up and works fairly well considering the short amount of time i usually have...it worked awesome when i bought the car and the intake and covers had crap all over them...

It works great. I used the Simple Green Max and an older microfiber towel I previously washed. It looks and smells clean 
. My only problem are those hard to reach tight spots. Maybe I'll spray some Simple Green in those places, run a little water, then blow it out with the compressor.

Um...I have a great idea. No engine in engine bay.. Wrap plastic bags around all your wire harness, get yourself a average pressure washer. Buy some engine brite, soak the engine bay and spray the **** out of it with high pressure water. BAMMMM... clean engine bay.
