I hosed down my 240's engine once.

Once.

Never again. The end result was some frayed wiring became intimate with each other and caused electrical gremlins. I was lucky that no other electrical components died from the water and soap. Now I wash using a cloth sprayed with Simple Green and wipe with another damp cloth. More tedious but safer.
