Re: Dirty Engine!

custom sheetmetal maybe? dirt will still find its way.... just spray it off every other car wash, make sure the engine is cooled down though.

Re: Dirty Engine!

A cool motor isn't as big of a deal as keeping the water away from the distributor and intake and other electrical components. When it rains water is sprayed on the motor all the time.
