I plan to remove the stock 76 2L in order to fix oil leaks, etc. I have read posts here about using brake cleaner to clean the engine. I have access to a pressure washer. Will this be an effective way to clean the engine (with degreaser, etc.)? What PSI works best (this unit has 2200 PSI)? Any things to watch out for when removing the engine (besides dropping it on my head)?

you got leaks? you will look like an old time coal miner. find a co that does automotive steam cleaning on a hoist. the BEST money you will spend. after you buy can after can of cleaner (go back to the store because you ran out, looking like a piece of shit), and 15 rolls of paper towels (off to the store AGAIN), chem burns, a driveway that you will have to clean, spending more time wiping down your tools than you spend under the car... oh, the wife catching you putting your coverals in the washer.
