Steam cleaning the engine

has anyone ever used a small steam cleaner to remove grime from an engine? I saw the "Shark" mini steam cleaner and I got to thinking that wouldnt be such a bad idea. Thanks

I have a McCulloch steam cleaner and have used it on my trucks engines. It didn't work so well when they were really dirty, so I used the power washer on them first. It does work well for regular monthly cleaning. I dress all plastic and rubber with Meguiars NXT Tech Protect.

The steamer cleaner is great for the cloth interiors & floor mats.
