just did this... wet the engine soak it with simple green and scrub with a tooth brush real good... turn on the power washer and spray away... it worked great for me.. O if u have a bhaf cover it!... then i used black magic engine degreaser and soaked it and power washed that off and when it dries it leaves a nice "tire wet" look... and i used my pressure washer with a 1250psi tip on it

First turn the engine on, then I spray it down with water getting all the big loose dirt off, then I spray the whole engine down with a degreaser called "Clean-All" and use a wash mitt to hit everything under the hood, then spray it off with a regular garden hose with a jet style tip then air dry it with compressed air. Normally I leave the engine running for about 30 minutes to dry up any remaining water. Do this every day about 5 times a day and haven't had any problems yet and always have squeaky clean engines and engine bays.
