Washing Engine Bay?

Washing Engine Bay?
I drive on 4 miles of gravel every day to work. About every 4 times i wash my car i like to pop the hood and wash out all of the gravel dust. The car wash in my town has this industrial strength blow dryer that works really well and gets everything real dry in the engine bay. I was wondering if this is still safe or could this frequent of cleaning wash away any lubricants or hurt anything else, and if i am going to wash the engine this often, are there any procedures i should take into consideration after washing such as oiling moving parts ect. Oh and i of course always wash it with the engine cool.
Thanks

Personally, I would think once in a "great" while would be ok.....yet, every (4) days.....It would seem to worry me!

I remember one time i was getting a car alarm installed and they had a mazda or something in the shop too, there was enough dirt and sand all over the engine to make a beach out of. it was horrible, you couldnt even see the writting on the engine, it looked like they dumped oil all over the engine and rolled it in the sand. i hate even when i spill a little bit of oil on the valve cover and it picks up dust, looks horrible.
