I don't mind a dirty engine.there are far more enjoyable things to do than clean an engine.
I would use a degreaser and carefully wash off by hand.

there you go, in all its glorious dirt.



please note the ford mondeo radiator, straight form the scrapyard for a fiver, installed by a wizard italian friend. almost no need to top up coolant ever since: she did escalate the swiss san gottardo pass in mid july effortlessly, the temperature gauge never approaching the medium position. same thing in summertime schorching hot italian motorways. much respect to dagenham!
