You shouldn't have any problem spraying down the hood. Just dont keep the water on the engine during the entire time you are washing it. I typically get the hood wet, use a sponge to clean off the main parts, rinse and use a towel to absorb everything else. If you want to get really fancy, I've heard of people using q-tips to clean the edges. Too much IMO.

I give the engine compartment a general wipe down everytime I pop the hood to check the fluids/OCC. Light cleaning on a regular basis saves you time in the long run..........

Simple Green and compressed air FTW!!!

Be careful though, if you aren't familiar with cleaning engines it will get where you don't want it to....
