Default 1999 suncoast hood...lets water on engine..problems??

Could this cause a problem since it has and open vent and when it rains water gets in onto the intake and could get down by injectors plugs...Just curious? Thanks

fwiw, I degrease my engine by spraing it down with simple green and dousing it with a water hose. the intake becomes a kiddie pool, and the injectors are under water. Been doing this a while, and to my friends car - no problems ever. lol.

That's when you pull out the leaf blower/air compressor and give it a *******.

How is the SS hood leaking any water from the vent? Do you mean scoop, or the heat extractors on the cowl?

But anyways, I have power washed both of my motors with no problems.


Peace,
Craig.
