Simple Green will cause ozidation on various polished metal surfaces..like an intercooler, or a fancy schmancy Cusco strut tower bar.
I've used it w/ great success on areas that were not bare metal (like a painted metal area such as the strut mounting areas), but thought I would warn you about areas that are polished.

i use gunk foamy (engine brite)....i buy it at autozone
spray it on a cold engine...let sit a few mins.
hose it off , and start the car..
then i spray the engine with foamy tire wet
and close the hood...
i wash the car as the engine is running...and turn it off when i start to dry the car
pop the hood , wipe everything down with a rag ...
and wipe down polished parts with glass cleaner, then metal polish..
the end

yes I heard of that as well~~~ Simple green has a tendency to slowly take out alluminum surfaces... however I did it on mine like 100 times and its still fine~~~ cross my fingers.
I would still go with recomended detergents for the engine bay due to the fact that our cars are very old now... old hoses... ect.

Some good info here:

FWIW, I've used Gunk's Engine Brite on several cars with good success (including the FD).
