I would use Simple Green. I find it gentler than the purple Zep.

I knocked down a bottle of oil and poured down the radiator etc. I guess hosing it down wasn't good enough so after a few days I had to remove the bumper and use Simple Green. I had to do it 3 times. Grrrrrrr.

If I did what you did, I still would use simple green. Easy on the hose and makenit like rain-pressure. I have a Toro leaf blower; use a similar unit to force dry after each rinsing. Good luck.

Oh, although grease comes off easier when warm, i would degrease with engine cold.

I am no electrician but be aware of electrical short. In other words, after rinsing and blow drying, let a few hours pass by and let remaining vapors/moisture go away before running the engine to avoid short ---- obviously this is a gamble as shorts could happen anytime with Murphy's Law.
