Default Cleaning Engine, What to cover?

I want to pressure wash my engine but first I was wondering what I should cover up electronics-wise.

Thanks.

Cover the intake. the one where it sucks air. IF you have a CAI (which is behind the bumper), you dont have to cover anything. Just spray on your chosen motor cleaner and wash off.

Old days you cover the distributor.
But hondas now have gaskets in them and is watertight.

Battey and distributor. Try not to soak too many wire connections (clips, connections, splices). Watch out for relays and fuse boxes too.
