Recently acquired a K0, 20k mi. Is there a process of cleaning outside of motor with 40+ years of weather without tearing the engine totally apart to do it. Bought it right but don't wan't to get into engine if possible. thanks

Pictures please! 
Along with elbow grease and a few different soft brushes, I prefer Zep purple commercial de-greaser for the heavy road grime.
Everything else cleans up pretty well with simple green.
You can also try GUNK engine cleaner, S100, etc...

 I taped scothbrite to a paint mixer stick to get between the fins. Brakeclean or WD40 for lube depending on the dirt.

Old household paint brushes also get in between the fins nicely, although I use those mostly for basic washing, not heavy degreasing and grunge removal.




How bad is the motor now, and how clean do you want it to be when you're done?
