Safe to use engine cleaner?

I was wondering if there is any concern with using engine cleaner/ degreaser on a metro engine to clean it up a bit after 16 years of crud? Any precautions and what brand to use? thanks

I keep it cheap, if you go to a local carwash where you can wash it yourself, not the automated one, you can use the "Tire Cleaner" option, i think it actually might be stronger than simple green, its green aswell, and is an ultra concentrated solution. Its usually green, its a chemical made by Simononz i know i spellt it wrong, i just forget what the stuff was actually called, i usta work at a car wash with several self serve bays, and a big automated. Spray on tire cleaner, let it sit for a little, spray on some more, then use the water pressure and it will take off quite a bit of crud. Just watch out when you spray near your Dist, since you might not have a gasket under it and get water in your dist cap :P

Be careful! Once you start cleaning you might find you like the results and will have to perform this function more often than every 16 years...
