Here's the deal with pressure washing the engine...

1. Hot water under pressure creates steam...Although steam is very effective in conjunction with degreasers and cleaners at breaking down dirt and grease...It's vapor and it gets in places it shouldn't. Like electrical connections and distributors and relays and on and on...

2. Atomized water creates corrosion on the copper connections just about everywhere and although it may not create a nightmare right away...Down the road you're doomed.

So you have to ask yourself how far you're willing to take the cleaning process. A good general cleaning every once in a while as part of a good maintenance program, or super clean all the time and risk shut down from a relay you'll never figure out.

My advice is spring and fall and I agree with the Simple Green approach with a garden hose...
