If it's really that built up, nothing you spray on it will cut much. Hit it with a scraper and once the big heavy crap is gone, then try the degreaser and use a wire brush with that to dislodge the rest.

pressure or steam cleaner but be careful grease will come off easier when motor is warm to keep that in mind you might have to do it a few time before it all comes off its been there a while remember

do not mess with the stuff inside the engine unless you want the loose pc to fall into the oil pan and clog up the pick up screen and blow the motor from lack of oil
