Use a pressure washer and this is what it is supposed to look like when you are finished...

Also make sure your Air intake arm is on correctly and tight so you don't get water in anywhere and for older DIIs or neglected ones, watch for unshielded wires near plugs so you don't short anything.
I have used engine degreaser but that's for everything under the valve covers and only the sides and underneath of the motor... you can use a mild water based cleaner on the top if water pressure alone wont do the trick. Strong cleaners may leave a residue and affect electrical connections. Once you wash it nicely and it looks like mine in the pics, then you wont need a cleaning solution if you keep up with it.
