How do you guys clean your engine bays? It's one thing to clean a newer car that's all plastic and covered, but with a wet manifold, vacuum lines, and exposed electrical connections, I wouldn't run to get the power washer when my engine got dirty. What's your take?

I pressure washed mine a few weeks back. Hit it with degreaser and stayed away from the distributor and I was good to go.

That's my method, hit it with a bunch of Awesome, fire it up, hose it off.
