Hoping that this is a better question than my stupid headrest query yesterday

I was very disturbed to see how easy it was to get water ingress into the spark plug chambers, and once in there … it could go unnoticed for weeks !

I Saw a post on the forum from 2018 where “teknome” used a spark plugs cover plate from a ford fiesta st150 (with slight modification) and fitted it as per photo to his Plus 4 Duratec 2.0 L.

Has anyone else had similar success with this arrangement ?

No such thing as a stupid question. Not asking & staying mushroom is stupid. There are several threads on here about engine covers. I'm sure GDI owners will respond.

A functional cover can be home fabricated using aluminium sheet and a good few hours in the garage.

Since fitting mine over 5 years ago there have been no issues with water ingress around the spark plugs.

I have the carbon one from Williams, works well but only fit certain Duratec engines and did require a bit of Dremelling to fit.

This was my Duratec cover. A simple aluminium plate contoured to fit works well.

And my GDI, now with a neoprene edge, but was just added in this image.
