I have just removed the engine from my project bike, would it be ok to cover the up any openings to the internals and put it in a parts washer and give it a brush over?

Should be fine if you can be sure the cleaning fluid doesn't get where it doesn't belong.

I wouldn't.
Strip it and do it properly and you can check all the internals and replace anything that needs it

I've done this before. No problem. Just use a brush and some engine cleaner. Don't jet wash!

I got 5 litres of general purpose degreaser from screwfix and used it with a small brush and bucket of water to give mine a general once over to get rid of the worst of the crud before I got into it and did a proper clean on individual parts once stripped.
As said, seal up all the holes and don’t jet wash
