Wasn't sure where to put this but anyway. The cowl to hood seal has never sealed well. The seal is or was in great shape before I cut it up. I just figured it was a factory flaw that it didn't seal up well so I figured I would turn it into a make shift heat extractor but leave some rubber behind to stop any rain from try to fall on a hot engine. But I have this one problem, I have a breather that visually smokes or steams at idle. So I wasn't sure if this would be detrimental to my health when I have my vents on and breathing all the crap in. I mean I'd still be breathing in some of it even if I didn't cut the seal up. Any input is appreciated.

Yea I'll have to get one of those :jest:
Anyone else have a bad hood to cowl seal. It's actually working I can see the heat coming out of the back of the hood.
