Plenty of Engine cleaning solvents available.

Autoglym do a good one. Spray it on, scrub it in with a stiff paintbrush and then just wipe with a cloth and rinse with water to clean.

Be a bit careful around electrical connectors though - water and electrics were never the best of friends. You can cover any connectors in the area with polythene bags taped round them to keep the water out.

A straight forward and satisfying job.
