I also use a hose and degreaser....sometimes I go to a friends shop and use their high power/pressure hot water sprayer.I cover up the distributor cap.intake.After I'm done,I use air-hose extra water off.

I would cover distributor w/ large, heavy duty zip lock bag to prevent direct spray on the distributor. Never wash a hot engine. I use Simple Green sprayed on for a few minutes before washing w/ pressure washer. I try not to obsess about a little remaining dirt and just get the worst accumulations.
good luck

I have heard that you should never steam clean an engine. I can cause all kinds of electrical problems because of condensation related issues. Use a degreaser and a pressure washer.
