Degreaser and a rag can get things pretty clean. Sometimes coupled with a spray bottle of hot water. I use simple green, but it's probably too strong for the dangermobile's innards, and people talk about how it corrodes stuff (with equal numbers saying it doesn't.) 303 aerospace protectant on the plastic bits will give them new life and keep them looking good. If you don't have some of this stuff for in-general care of your car, get some. It's really amazing.
Regarding this particular engine being dirty due to its design and placement, I don't know. Just based on my experience from other cars. No need to get it wet to get it clean. Just be prepared to get grease all the way up your arms. You'll feel better about knowing what got what on where, rather than using water. Oh, and keep it off your paint, obviously.
