How can I get the engine this clean... Look at the motor of this e-bay TA...

That's rediculously clean for 60k miles. How can I get an engine that clean? I know the engine detailer spray on stuff works but can you use that or simple green on an LS1? Will moisture hurt the coil packs? Can you spray a fine mist of water on the motor, spritz it with simple green, and mist it back off? Just need to know what's safe...
thanks...

I would say that it was steam cleaned. A lot of the car dealers use the steamers I think to get the engine bays that clean. I did mine by hand over a long period of time but you can use cleaners. I used the Castrol cleaner and it seems to work real good. I use it on my wife's 2002 Maxima and it looks bran new under the hood. Just don't spray it on dry paint and let it set and don't spray water directly on your coil packs.

This seller does this quite a bit, has cars with the aftermarket hood & then lists them as WS6 cars. Not the first time I've seen this with this person. That's not a true comparison in value.
You'd think a person who sells cars would actually know the difference, ...
Email the seller & ask them to inspect the RPO code tag on the drivers door jam & see if the WS6 code is really there, ...
But it is a sharp car, ..., & getting back to the topic, ..., Yes it is a clean engine compartment!

That car has been professionally detailed....or well, the brush marks in the carpet make it seem so 
The motor was most likely pressure washed......yes pressure.....with a lot of heavy degreasers and what ever amount of laquer thinner to get off the rust proofing

I just did a search on google and found a few places still selling it, unless you try to order and then it tells you that it is discontinued.
Edit: I'm stupid, it says right under it that it is discontinued.
