BMW: Engine Cleaning

I just cleaned an oily engine. I first sprayed it down except the
non-electrical areas (mostly alternator) with a engine cleaner/degreaser,
let it sit for about 5 minutes and then pressure washed it. Then took it on
about a 20 minute highway drive to get the engine hot and dry it out. Looks
good and no problems as I see. I'm not sure if I would do it on my BMW, this
was an old Buick.

"Gunk" brand spray engine cleaner works well and is reasonably priced.
Follow the directions, especially the bit about brushing heavy deposits.
Instead of a hose, I use a garden sprayer filled with boiling hot water for
rinsing. Easier to control and the hot water dissolves the grease much
better than water from the tap.

I appreciate your suggestions and my thanks to you all. Will give it a go
this weekend.
