Default Pressure washing long block

Hey guys i need some of ur input and opinions on pressure washing my b18c type r longblock...i understand people pressure wash engines while in the car as long as a few things are covered..(distributor, alternator etc).

The longblock i have has no transmission attached, is it safe to spray this side where the clutch and flywheel are located. I want to use a degreaser and pressure wash with my small electric washer like 1800psi i beleive... Any ideas?

I wouldn't spray around the clutch area unless you plan on replacing the rear main seal and other gaskets that get affected.

^ Im going to go ahead and agree with that. Whether it will actually hurt the seal, I doubt it, but hell you should be replacing that seal now anyways.
