baffle.
Direct the flow from the "outside" towards the slot and see what comes out.

Then direct the flow the other way.
I reckon that any contamination that doesn't come out with the high pressure blast won't come out while the engine is running.

My pressure washer allows for the use of soap with the pressurized water... as do most high pressure washers. Why not add a little soap to the mix. Would help cut the oil under the baffles. Then shut off the soap and rinse with just water. Might work even better if you could take water right out of the hot water heater. Hot water and soap, and a hot water rinse (which evaporates quicker with no rusting) might really work! Maybe then blow dry with compressed air. Good idea Rob. I'm gonna remember this one.
Just what I think....
