Cleaning an engine

[Tom7227]

My son who lives in California just called asking how he could clean the gunk from his motorcycle engine.  I told him that back when i did those things it was with a product called Gunk and a hose.  Apparently the hose is a no no out in california.  Any ideas how to do it while being able to prevent oil residue running down the street?   He's  a lot more concerned about this than I would be as it is probably less than a couple ounces of oil.

Thanks for your time.

Tell him to ship the dam thing up here where you can gunk it up and spray the thing down with a pressure washer! Sheesh!.

I dunno. He can't figure it out? Pour Dawn soap all over it and take it out behind the garage and blast it.  I never allowed my bikes to get "gunked up". That points toward leaking seals, etc.and poor maintenance.

They have "quarter car wash" places in Cali?

It's probably a legitimate concern in California.  He probably wouldn't want any trouble with this outfit...
