Engine bay and parts cleaner?

[Faxo]

I’ve got the engine out of my 182, and I’m wanting to clan up the bay, and the oily and greasy block and gearbox.

What do people use for this? I’ve got some Gunk degreaser, but wondered if there was a better product?

Brake cleaner and screwfix degreaser does the job!

Gunk will be fine.

Petrol and then a scrub down with TFR afterwards

I've always wanted to respray the engine bay of mine if the lump was dropped out.

Maybe I'm just a little weird in that respect - but there must be a lot of crap in certain areas of that bay after fourteen years....

Gunk is good, also some all purpose cleaner in a strong mix with different stiff brushes etc.

What they look like dry. The front of the block is rusty, the rear was like new after a clean
