All Engine And Engine Coolingengine Complaints
THE AIR INLETS ON THE BREATHER FOR ENGINE AIR INTAKE ARE POSITIONED AT THE FRONT CENTER OF THE ENGINE COMPARTMENT IN FRONT OF THE RADIATOR. THE ANGLE OF THE RADIATOR IN RELATION TO THE ROAD SURFACE PROVIDES A CHUTE FOR WATER TO TRAVEL DIRECTLY TO THE AIR INLETS AND SUBSEQUENTLY TO THE INTAKE AND INTERNAL ENGINE AREAS. THERE IS ALSO A RESEVOIR JUST BEHIND THE AIR FILTER TO CATCH ANY FLUIDS PRIOR TO ENGINE INTAKE. WHY? WATER IS NOT COMPRESSIBLE, SO DISASTER IS WAITING TO HAPPEN WHEN IT IS INTRODUCED INTO A CYLINDER. WHY ISN'T THE AIR BREATHER ASSEMBLY LOCATED ELSEWHERE IN THE ENGINE COMPARTMENT THAT IS NOT DIRECTLY SUSCEPTIBLE TO ROAD WATER INDUCTION. POOR ENGINEERING IS A RESPONSIBILITY THE MANUFACTURER NEEDS TO ADDRESS, NOT THE CONSUMER. *JB
