I need to know if I need to cover any engine component before pressure washing the engine.I'm probably going to spray some degreaser also.

Hi there,

You will be ok to wash the engine as long as you don't point the nozzle directly at any conection, they have water proof seals in the connectors, but close up high pressure is a bit of a no no.
