Cleaning Engines

Picked up my ST162 from the mechanic... it's been flushed out and had a few parts replaced etc, and she's running pretty smooth. When I first got it, my engine was clean as a whistle, the silver as shiny as ever and the TOYOTA 2000CC all perfect red etc. Looked great. (didn't run well though, clogged up oil inside it due to the fact it hadn't been run in over 3 years and the goose before me changed his own oil)
Now, it runs a lot smoother since the mechanic has replaced a lot of parts and flushed out heaps of stuff, but obviously when he has taken out some of the parts, clumps of oil have gone everywhere and after driving for an hour or so, i can smell burnt oil etc.
I know this aint good, makes it harder to spot oil leaks for one, but can also (I'm led to believe) stuff up some electronic cabling and stuff.
I want to give the engine a bit of a clean today, but I don't know what sorta stuff to avoid. The starter motor and anything that looks like a computer seem to be the obvious things to avoid, but there must be a right way going about this shitty task.
Cheers!
