Default Engine details suggestions

Had my car at the shop to get window regulator replaced since I wasn't going to have the time to deal with it. Going to be changing tranny fluid soon and while it's on the lift was going to plan on cleaning off oil grime/guck from the motors. RMS area and all over right head. I think it was an old leak from prior to last clutch replacement and wanted to clean it up.

Thoughts on cleaning methods? Simple Green Aviation and an amazon steam cleaner? Not looking to make this concours, but wanting to evaluate if that leak is truly resolved.

You'll see excellent results with this combination. 👍
Also recommend buying some good brushes in various sizes. Super affordable on Amazon.

Some of the guys who’ve cleaned their engines have used Simple Green with great success. I have one of these steamers that I use often.
