like I stated in that thread, it was the first time I used a leaf blower to dry things off and I am thinking I got too close to some connectors (assuming there are some BCM connectors in the engine compartment) and forced some water into the connectors.

Hmmmmmm...never had a problem with mine, but I guess the only thing I do different is I just run the engine to dry everything off (after getting most of it with a towel).
Sorry to hear that.
I've washed all my other engine bays but for some reason I'm afriad to do it with this one. I've never had any problems come up so I really don't know why I'm afriad. I clean the entire engine bay by hand now.

Hell , that LS1 engine is so fugly any how theres not a whole lot we can do to pretty up that industrial looking hunk of aluminum . General Motors tried to hide that ugly ****** with some plastic covers but even though it runs like a bitch , you can't polish a turd ! I hope GM has the sense to at least polish or chrome plate the new Camaro engine & compartment . I really don't like to raise the hood on that mother .
