<VV> Cleaning oily parts?

[Sethracer at aol.com]

If you used anything at all caustic, wear gloves! Keep that crap off of  
your skin! And only do this outside where you won't be breathing it. We need 
all  the Corvair enthusiasts we have - maybe more - but not less. Stay safe!

Andy,

Gunk (seems to leave a slight residue),followed by  Simple Green (darn clean
after rinsing with water), followed by something  like Brake Clean or 
alcohol
if going to paint. IF baked on varnish-like  residue, Easy Off Oven
Cleaner-highly toxic, don't get on machined surfaces  or if you do, not for
very long..  Will etch aluminum.. Gets a block  nice and clean.... takes
paint off, too...

Guys,
My  daily driver 65 has been leaking oil for some time; which I am working  
to
rectify.  Among the other oily/grungy parts is the rear  grille.
In the past I have used gasoline as a solvent (I know, it's health  and fire
hazardous).  Any recommendations for a less hazardous, but  still effective
cleaner?  I also need to clean some engine internal  parts; as well.
Thanks,
Andy K.
Wisconsin
