What about GUNK - the engine cleaner - should dissolve all the grease then just rinse off with wash up liquid

I would use a hot powerwash followed by a strong alkali degreaser and powerwash with cold water to rinse it off.
Do you have any guys locally who do powerwashing? It might just pay to get one of them to do it.
