I've been using simple green or generic similar cleaner on my engine.  Good news is, it cleans grease well.  Bad news is, it is a strong alkaline and causes corrosion on aluminum.  So, I have this white powder freckling on all the aluminum.  Any suggestions?  I'm thinking about spray with vinegar, then rinsing with water, then spray with a  neutralizing solution of baking soda and rinse.

I spray the aluminum down with 'Remington Oil', aerosol can that i also use to protect guns.

 

That simple green is some potent stuff, it is eating your engine.
