Here's something fun for you guys.
Look up the mass of an aluminum engine.. say the 2.2 ECOTEC block. Now calculate how much energy it holds to have its temperature at 200 degrees.
Now calculate how much heat it takes to boil a gallon of water.
Ever wonder why if you spray your engine when its hot the water just boils right of instantly and the engine is still hot? Thats why.
B-spots science lesson of the day. Informing retards one at a time.

yeah, water touches your engine and ecspecially your header/exhaust all the time when you drive in moderate to heavy rain....a portion of that spray coming off your car on the highway is the water smoking off your engine.
Ever been folowing a car who hits a bid puddle and his/her car is still steam a few seconds later?
