<< Hey Charles,
Water won't do any thing to an engine? Are you nuts? Lets see here... water
goes in the intake disguising itself as say...air. It makes its way through
the intake valve and into say a combustion chamber. Can you guess what
happens next. Well since water doesn't compress (by no means) It decides to
bend a rod or two. Think it can't happen, I've seen it. The only way it
might
not harm it is if the water is in such small amounts that it turns to steam
when it enters the chamber. A big gulp though and rods go flying.

No bud... I'm not nuts ...just talking from experiance. My point was
occasional rain through a K&N will do NOTHING to a motor. I'm not talking
about vacuming up a puddle with your intake. Ask anyone with a ram air set-up
or watch swamp buggies some time on TNN...I dont see any bent pushrods. I had
an 11 second street car... do you?
