The way i do it is spray the engine down with degreaser and hose it off, after it drys you can spray tireshine on it to brighten everything up.

wut do u mean by bagged
Cover the distributor with a plastic bag and some duct tape to keep it there. Ive heard of a few using aluminum foil to, never tried it myself.

Cover anything you dont want wet basically. If youll be using ice cold water, let the engine cool first. You dont want to crack or warp anything.
