Wow, some crazy suggestions there.
So how about this: remove the motor and run it through an engine washing machine.
Ok my 2 cents:
Either just use a steam cleaner (high pressure HOT water).
or use a bio degrable degreaser and a pressure washer. (Preferably at the car wash as they often times are required to have a grease trap, thus not allowing petrol waste into the water table.).
Lastly, use a biogradable degreaser and your garden hose with an attachment that will create a small high(er) pressure stream.
Just be mindful of the areas that can be effected by water. ie: water can get in. (oil fill cap for one).
It's good to have a clean engine bay.

From my back woods off roading days, we'd apply silicone to the base of the distributor cap when installing a new one. No more water issues.
