Two words: Simple Green. I have used it on my engine bay before.

Go get a bottle of Simple Green All Purpise cleaner and spray it down on your engine bay. Make sure your engine is not hot. Let it cool off before doing this. After spraying down the dirty parts, let it set for a while. Brush the really dirty parts if needed with a toothbrush or something. After this, hose down the engine bat with a high pressure water hose (or you regular hose with ur thumb on the end). I HIGHLY RECOMMEND taking out the spark plugs and covering up the spark plug chamber so water does not get into them. ITs a PAIN if this happends. Trust me.

EDIT: AH yes, cover up the distributor cap as well, make sure it doesnt get wet.
