the best way that i presssure wash my engine and bay is to do it when the engine is cold
and statrt it right away so it doesnt turn off when washing but do it quick before it warms up so it doesnt warp anything

I've never actually pressure washed my motor, but whatever.

I give everything a nice coating of simple green, let it sit and hose it down.

I do take care to cover the dizzy though. I've done this with 4 cars and I've never had a problem.
