Engine Degreasing?
This is posted elsewhere here on FTE so I get a good range of usable info.
Re: 2005 E350 Club Wagon van
So had an Accusump accumulator rupture (due defective end cap threads) and because it was mounted over top of the intake just in front of the throttle body it made quite a mess in the engine bay. I'm curious how to best clean the oil off the engine? The engine has about 1200 miles on a reman'd install and I hate it being dirty already.
What products and procedures have worked? I have heard of those using pressure washers and too harsh of cleaners causing all sorts of problems I'd like to avoid. Naturally the quick and easy low-effort process is preferred but if it means I'm removing bits of the induction or electrical system that's fine too.
TIA

Got this resolved with more than a few heavy duty paper shop towels, a few cans of aerosol brake cleaner and removing the alternator too. Very little oil anywhere but the center galley but wiped down most everything in front of the throttle body.
Hate having a new reman'd engine covered with oil.
Thanks for looking in anyway.
