   so after 1 month of me being lazy after noticing my rocker cover gasket was pissing out oil i finally decided to replace, job done works perfect, my engine block is covered in oil, any suggestions on any spray on liquids that will clean it up a treat ?

   I personally use gunk engine degreaser or more recently Wickes tradesmans degreaser, only a fiver for a handy spray on bottle. Then just a brush and rinse with hot water, seems to work a treat on oil

   Daisy APC from Tesco ... Undiluted or slightly diluted prob under 50p and buy some shitty microfibres from asda also.
