When I bought my car, it did not have a rain tray installed on the engine bay cover. I was going to buy one, but now I'm building a 2366 and want to do everything I can to keep it cool. Are there any cooling benefits to not having a rain tray? If I don't add one, how do I stop water from getting in the engine?

Since the 914 design on engine grill is pretty much an open area, is there a real problem when water gets in there and soak the engine with water? for carb and Fuel injection. I know there is a lot of places inside engine bay that water can drain but still water get all over the engine.
Majority of us try to avoid getting our car soak with rain but sometimes we really can't avoid the rain like here in SoCal. Sometimes it is sunny but suddenly a rain will fall. Eric Shea's last drive from west to east experienced a hard rain but he was able to drove it without any issues. |
