Does it some times with a mix of engine degreaser and thinner. Spray it on the engine parts and let it work for 15 min. Then steam all of with a steamer machine. I don't use a high pressure, as older cars weren't engineered to stand the water pressure of these machines. Engine parts are water resistant, but not water proof!!
