Default having trouble with rain water

I have a vented hood, and the vents are located right on top of the valve cover. When it rains the water runs right down into the valve cover and down inside the spark plug tubes. Then it starts missing and it is a pain to get the water back out. Does anyone know of a fix that is out there?

get a diff hood lol. no but your hood should have come with a block off plate for the vent. just put that on in rainy days. if not rig up some kinda gasket to go around the spark plug cover. home depot

Don't you have a spark plug cover plate? I've never had this problem before and I've got an Invader style CF hood w/ scoop.

A hole right above the valve cover??? What is the point of that?

A hole above the exhaust would be a lot more efficient at releasing heat....I'd get another hood or block off the vents.

I like the way that the hood looks and I can't afford to buy another hood. I don't really want to rig some **** up from lowes or home depot either. Is their not a company that makes a block-off plate for the h23 or something that would cover the whole valve cover?

you can't always take the easy way out in life. some shiet you just gotta be willing to get your hands dirty for. seriously this isn't anything hard. i don't wna even know what your car looks like but seriously.. don't you have a spark plug cover? personally i'd buy the oem hood but you should just go to lowes/home depot nd fix that yourself. it'll take you 30mins. promise..
