Really, all you need to avoid spraying (with any intensity) is the
distributor. High pressure can get under the cap and cause the car to run
poorly or not run at all until the cap dries out. Not a big deal as you
can use an electrical cleaner. (brake cleaner works too.)

Clean the entire thing, wont hurt a bit. Dont stand in one place, move
around and hit the same areas more than once. It helps to get the stuborn
grease off and gets the dirt you missed under other items. 

I pressure wash my motor area about once a week. Havent ever had any
problems with it starting right after.
