Default How to clean a honda engine right?

I wanted to clean my engine, what kinda cleaner should i use? Just straight up engine cleaner, automatic trans fluid; Its a 93 GSR Iam not sure cause i heard that you could do something to the compression. Ive done this to my cx motor and havent had any problems , no changes etc.. just wonder if it would make a differnce in other engines. Has anyone else done this and had problems?

Hey pollo thanks i no that not everyone on here is a clean freak like me. heh!Iam getting a CRX tonight i cant wait its fxing bad all the way around plus its a pretty even trade to. Cause iam giving him the engine i just bought plus my car which is very good and nice looking it still has the cx motor in it but thats cause it takes me forever to save money. Iam kinda working on getting my own place. so thats like 90% of the cause. Insurance is high cause i covered everything on my car kit and wheels. In case of a acident heh! k thanks i forgot about that stuff ,forgot what a miricale that stuff is. SImple green .

I used D2 engine degreaser/detailer and it worked great. Suprosed the hell out of me and I get a lot of compliments on how clean it is.

Pressure washer + gunk sounds like a good idea. Might as well try it while my engine bay looks like this:
