I used a power washer with a strong detergent soap, Crank up the heat and get the water as hot as you can get it.

I used a strong detergent with oxi clean and hot water. Soaked it over and over, and then power wash it off. Soak the crap out of it and it works great. Engine looked like new.

I saw Logans rig and was amazed at the under carriage! No Rust, absolutely clean.

That's a damn good idea! Similar to the automatic car wash under-carriage sprayers...
