Long as you dont have an open filter type intake you should be fine...I just try not to spray a direct stream on anything
Honestly though just spraying it off is only gonna get off the top layer lol...I just did mine last week and I wasnt too happy with the result...so I went at it by hand and just cleaned and cleaned and it turned out alright

I use Simple Green also. Have also gotten good results with Super Clean if you can't find Simple Green in your area.
Just follow the directions on the bottle. I mix my Simple Green about 5 or 6 to 1.
If your engine is really dirty, you might want to go a bit stronger. Like 3 to 1.
I use an old windex 32 oz spray bottle, add 5 or 6 oz of simple green, then fill the bottle with water and go to work.
I also like to follow the directions given on this video. Been doing it this way for a few years now and no problems to date.

Run your truck until the engine gets to normal operating temperature. Use a light staedy stream of simple green cleaning solution and spray it down completely. Let it sit for about 15 to 20 minutes, then use a pressure washer to rinse it off. That should get it decent looking for you. As far as aresol cans of engine cleaner, black magic is the only one I recomend. I'ts the only one that really works in my opinion. The others are considered cash in the trash because they don't work. Black magic is the only one that even attempts to.

Hmmm.. I personally like to use either Simple Green, or some of the Orange topped engine foaming cleaner.. worked WONDERS on cleaning out my old '88 rangers transmission and engine area/bay... it was as simple as getting everythign all warmed up, spraying on the foam, and let it do it smagic.. wait about 5 minutes, rinse it all off, heat the engine back up again, and rinse and repeat as many times you like till tis all looking stock out of the factory again :-)
To do my entinre engine and bay, along with the underside of the transmission, took roughly 1 can with heavy spraying all over.. I woudl recommend 2 or 3 cans of it to do a really really good job.. will probably do it myself here this next week.
