Simple Green Degreaser...worked wonders for me

Simple Green works great. You can get it in a hug bottle at Sam's Club. It is also bio-degradable, so It won't hurt anything when you get it all over in your yard or driveway.
Grease in the engine compartment is hard to clean though. You are not going to find a magic solution that will melt it away without causing damage to the engine seals. You might have to us a plastic bristle bush to help the built up stuff off. Do not use a wire brush though, you will strip paint and damage seals if you do that.
Good Luck... I would also buy some Orange clean, because if you are going to get dirty trying to clean the engine, and that stuff always get the grime off your hands.
I would not suggest using WD-40...because, well... ITS FLAMMABLE!!!!!

I like using Enginebrite Foamy engine cleaner, it expands and lifts grease and grime right off....sometimes a second app is necessary.
The castrol cleaner is strong but has a tendency to etch the surface, leaving a white residue.

I use Formula 88, which is a black bottle, with a red spray top. That'll cut through almost anything. Not many places have it, but I believe some auto shop chains do.

chemtool formula used to be the best, but was out lawed in Calif.
Now simple green works about as good as anything you can get in a "green" state.
good luck!

Pocket knife it off then work with some WD-40 or similar. The foam stuff at the carwash has some option maybe.

Purple Power, you can get it at Advanced Auto. Use gloves when using it.
