I believe with Gunk you're supposed to spray it on the motor and let it run. It's an engine degreaser not a paint cleaner. I'd say some diluted purple power or simple green and some elbow grease.

go to autoparts store, pick up a bottle of "e-z brite"its an acid, put it a spray bottle (dont concentrate, and DO NOT get it on you) and spray engine with it, let it sit for a 30seconds or so.....pressure wash off....
shit works GREAT! turns out like you got it hot tanked or something,but you have to absolutely make sure you cover all electrical stuff...
