What will clean antifreeze and oil goo .... ?

Due to a leaking head gasket I now have a short block still installed in my car. Heads and everything are off. Pan is off. Engine has a lot of yellow goo (like thinned white lithium grease) over everthing. What's the best way to get rid of this without removing and dissassembling the short block (don't want to because bearings and everything are OK)? I was thinking spraying it with either WD40, kerosone, or varsol, then putting the pan on temporarily and rotating the oil pump with clean oil in it. Any ideas? Also, I once heard of something called butyl cellusolve that people mixed in with their oil and than ran the engine to get rid of anti freeze. What exactly is that stuff and where do you purchase it? Can it be sprayed on, then rinsed off with something?

 My personal fave is steam-cleaning. Call local car wash. [n/m] -- Mr F, 09/19/2002
