"Best" Engine Cleaner?
Guys I tried to do a search, but no luck. 
I would like to clean my motor but don't want to hurt the hoses, metals or the electronics. What do you all recommend? I want something that doesn't leave the alum looking like crap and dull.

most will say Simple Green. That does a good job, but if your block is as greasy as mine, then you'll probably want something more powerfull. There of cousre is engine degreaser at any auto parts store, and I also found some stuff call Gunk Off IIRC, I got it al Lowes in a gallon jug, and i swear it's the same stuff they bottel in air filter cleaning kits. It's in a red and white bottle, and smells just like K&N cleaner. Works great for my general shop clean up, and it cut the built up gunk in my valley pretty good, but I still had to scrub a little.

Simple Green is the only thing I've used that didn't leave anything 'streaky'. Purple Power and all of the aerosol engine cleaners that auto parts stores carry leave a residue and spots on most plastic and rubber pieces.
