The caustic grease removal substances will ruin your engine if left on the aluminum long term.

Notice the Cascade should only be on the engine for a short time in the instructions

The dawn can stay on about 45 min

You can also get a potpourri pot and put 50/50 antifreeze in it and you can soak the engine in the solution for a week. Do not boil

All you need is a spray can of Gummout...(automotive carb cleaner )
Obviously, you should use it outdoors...and wear eye protection.
