Dirty Engine-Cleaning tips?

I just got my 94 Camaro, its a really hot car, t tops and all, but I do have a problem

The engine is pret-ty brown, and I was wondering if there was any way I could clean it without takeing the whole thing out and cleaning them piece by piece

any help would be nice

Naw dude...piece by piece!

Just go to a auto shop, pick up some engine degreaser, cover your alternator and battery, spray the stuff onto the engine and hose it down. You might need a brush or something too.

This should be either in general f-bod or appearance BTW.

Black Magic just came out with an engine degreaser and shiner in one. Easy as L to use and cleans it up pretty good. Or you can use Simple Green with a toothbrush.

Detail shops can steam clean it. I prefer Oven cleaner, and then detailing spray if the engine is pretty dirty. Other than that standard engine degreaser will work.
