... I have seen significant water spots all under my hood, on top of the engine, and almost everything around it. Maybe I'm mistaken, but I always thuoght the engine area was supposed to stay dry.

 

lol no

i have salt all in my engine from a trip up to canada

engine's have TONS of openings so they dont overheat amongst other reasons

 

Okay, well thats reassuring. I know back in the day, water in the engine area was bad because of the distirbuter, but maybe thats a problem of the past.

to add to that, you'll notice that from the factory, the new 06 civics come with an Air Diversion Panel, you know, what people with EJ8s, EM1s, DC2s, etc pay for aftermarket

*pics to aid what I'm talkin about*


our stock one



but yeah, when i opened my hood after some freeway driivng in the rain and all that, i noticed that hte watter was kind of splattered in there .. and i'm willing to bet that the stock air diversion panel aids in that
