Default Engine clean up help

Bought a RKS that previously lived in FLA. Now though, there is salt water corrosion cooling fins, hardwater spots on the engine, and some sort of...stuff...caked around some of the bolts. Any suggestions for cleaning this off would be appreciated. Thinking diluted Simple Green maybe?

Thanks for the help.

Wash good several times with simple green and dish soap rinse let dry cold engine apply Pig spit let soak repeat. Wash with brush dry more pig spit. If that don't work repaint time.

Do you mean simple green and dish soap in the same bucket? Or first with simple green then with dish soap?

Thanks

I used sand paper and a stone on my Dyna to clean the fins. I really like how Harley's Engine Bright rejuvenates the black.
