Has anyone come up with a neat way to stop water accumulating in the spark plug wells of our S&S engines (other than not leaving you car out in the rain).

Obviously when running the car in rain water boils off pretty rapidly but if the car is parked and it rains, there can be quite a bit of water around the plug which apart from potential ignition problems quickly creates messy corrosion.

I've never had an ignition problem even in torrential rain nor after rain when the plug holes are full of water.

Agree about the corrosion though.

Big valve cylinder heads have a hole in the bottom of the spark plug wells to let water out between two cooling fins on the cylinder head.
