PLEASE - DO NOT use Simple Green. It will turn aluminum, discolor it, do a job on it!! Simple Green will interact with aluminum and it will look terrible! I speak from experience.
I would recommend using a good "engine cleaner" in a spray can. Read the directions and go from there. Be careful when you rinse it off. I hosed my engine off once and until the engine warmed up good, every warning light the car has was lit up. After about 20 miles, they all went out. Clearly, water got where it was not supposed to be.
