So I was washing "the underdog" when I noticed that water was getting into the engine bay thru the RWG ( rear window garnish ), I assumed that it was due to me removing the engine cover in anticipation of getting my NA2-R cover .
So I decided to make an "Ersatz" engine cover a la Gruppe M by removing a similar area to the one that is covered in mesh on the NSX-R one. Out came the pliers, angle grinder, jigsaw and the all important goggles and dust mask. I cut out the oulined, removed all the ribs and post and smoothed the inside. Also rounded the edge. I should have wore more suitable clothes than shorts and a vest as by the time I finished I was itching like a possesed man. Once finished wash, blow dry ( the cover, not me as I am bald ) and detailed, I installed it. I decided to wash the car again as some dust had flown out of the garage/workshop and black ( roof )is a tell tale color for dirt.
Can you believe that the water keeps on coming in! The posts were the RWG attaches to the engine bay are not covered by the engine cover!
Everytime one watches the car, the rear bank valve cover gets wet! WTF Honda? Was this designed for ventilation, or as an engineered fault?
Sorry about the rant.
Cheers,
Ary
