Be careful if you're using oven cleaner while the engine is in the vehicle, it can do some nasty things to paint and plastic parts. And sometimes when you get the engine all nice and clean and start it up, it leaks like a sieve, and after 5 minutes of four-letter words, you wished you wouldn't have started cleaning it in the first place.
