Safe to drive in rain with hood vent & spark plug cover off?
I did a search and it seems for the most part it would be ok.
But I have my spark plug cover off and I was wondering if it would have any adverse effects?
I also have an AEM Short Ram intake...

make sure you have a good seal on the plugs it would take alot of water but it would hydro lock your engine. I live in Washington state and have never had a problem driving in the rain and as we all know it rain like cats and dogs here.

i wouldnt quote us on this, accidents always do happen... murphy's law is around us everywhere, and that monkey, he's always waiting to get out and give you a nice hard ramming in the rear.... why not put the cover back on ? did you break it ?

I took the cover off cause I live in Vegas, and all we get really is sun, sun & more sun and sometimes a little rain thrown in for good measure.
I haven't taken the car to a car wash since I took it off, but when/if I do, I'll definitely put it back on.
