I made a video about this a couple of weeks ago. You want to make sure to use as little water as possible and cover any exposed electrical components with a bag. After the wash I like to use a leaf blower to dry the engine. Any water left I use a microfiber towel. Then you can dress the engine in your favorite dressing or leave as is. Hope this helps!

I used PolishAngel Engine a s was very impressed. No water needed, spray on agitate and wipe. It also leaves a great sheen on all parts.

I wouldn't spray engine bay with water

I take some old MF towels and soak them in rinseless wash solution and wipe down the underside of hood and the engine bay. Good enough for something that isn't seen very much.

spraying the engine is fine, but you don't want to flood it. We take about 20 seconds to spray down the engine compartment, then go in and clean it all up.

master blaster for forced air water removal, QD/spray coating on everything makes for fast work

Engine compartments today are pretty sealed up, so are the connectors for most everything

I spray all surfaces with purple power, then use a pressure washer with a turbo nozzle. I do not put the nozzle that close however. Then use a leaf blower to blow everything off and dry.
