You can buy a product called Jizer or Gunk from a motor-factors that can dissolve the crud on an engine.
Best if you have the engine sitting in a tray of some sort as the liquid that runs off will be laden with oil that will stain your drive or garage floor, you'll also want to dispose of it properly when you are finished.
