Use the chemical degreaser, not the ones based on citric whatever. Use grocery bags and tape to hold the bags in place. I used a high pressure hose for UNDER the engine, on top, just regular hose, maybe you can use a brush like the ones for washing tires. Other than that, its pretty much a job based on how strong the degreaser is.
