Well, not today.
I had the idea for some time to make a cover on the engine but after replacing the spark plugs it seemed time to finally start. Although it was not so bad with the water infiltration. Only on the first cylinder there was rust on the spark plug



Wanted something like the one available at Williams (very nice but expensive)



So a DIY job. As always, it starts with a cardboard template.



Still have diamond plate left over from previous projects, but that is not ideal for water drainage. Or to apply an emblem.



A 0.8mil flat alu sheet will be good, easily machinable.



There are four screw holes M6 in the valve cover, on this I placed threaded bushing for support and on top a screw with a wide flat head to hold it down. On the other side I drilled two holes in the support for the cooling tube and a slot in the folded flaps so that the height can be adjusted to give some slope for water drainage.



On the side against the valve cover a u-profile rubber has been applied to minimize infiltration.



A sticker as Finishing Touch and job don.



After a first test drive, everything turns out to be okay, but to know if it affects the engine temperature, we will have to wait until the summer.
