external engine cleaning I have the the engine bay somewhat open for head/ cam swap and am wanting to clean all the accumulated grime/oil etc. stuck to the timing cover, around the oilpan, motor mounts etc. before I crack the engine open. I was thinking a bucket of water/dawn and a scrub brush and rag. or a big can of carb cleaner and rag. Would either be a good idea?
What have you guys done that works well or what do you suggest?

really should have cleaned it with a power washer and some degreaser or engine cleaner before you opened it up...
I would wait until you have it back together and clean it well

The guy's at my dealer would pressure wash the whole bay(with it running) spray it down with AA and run it for about 10 min's, ive done this myself at a coin op car wash and it look's great if you need just a basic cleaning.
