Well as title says, I want to pressure wash my engine bay but I'm kind of nervous to do so as I feel I will short something out. As far as I can think I would want to cover the air filter, disy, alternator, battery, fuse box...anything else I should be aware of?

Zero07 showed me this method. my engine bay started out HORRIBLY ugly, messy and what not. After a the first wash, it looked much better. Keep doing it, you will notice oil leaks, the grime will slowly disappear from the whole engine. Makes work on the engine much cleaner.
No joke I changed the head on my daily && my hands were as dirty as if I changed spark plugs on a regularly dirty engine. -------------------- QUOTE "And, as always, your friendship, help, and dedication to the advancement of Texas Celica dominance is GREATLY appreciated.
