It's still sparkly clean a year on 

[Spireite]

Use APC (all purpose cleaner), flash is an example, use a spray bottle to spray all over engine and ancillaries.  Let that soak for a while, then jetwash, but dont go too crazy, will come up lovely, i clean my v6 as often as is needed.

Steam cleaning is quite commonly done. Just don't get water into the alternator, judging by one of our buses they really don't like it. Must be part feline.

I may be slightly bitter since I had to help then push the ten tons of German Felix across the yard...

Yep steam cleaning widely used for engine cleaning over many years.  As said "bag up" the alternator

Remove engine. Put on engine stand. Clean. Reinstall engine.

Remove engine. Put on engine stand. Clean. Reinstall engine.

That's a little more complicated than five minutes with a bottle of degreaser and then a pressure washer. Which is all that is necessary unless you have concours aspirations.
