waterproofing a distributor
« on: 28 May 2011, 12:53 »
hey guys, what would you guys say is the best way to waterproof a distributor??
been reading elsewhere to take cap off then fit silicon at the bottom, allow it to go off and then fit cap as the silicon will work as an O-Ring,
anyone else have any other ways??

Used duck oil in the past.

Maybe it worth investing in a undertray if water is getting into distributor.

cheers, might even try the "marigold" method to see if that would work

Just spray it with good old WD40 once a week to displace any moisture  :smiley:
