Default Question for you guys......

I have a Cervini ram air hood on my truck. Lately, with the bad weather we've been having (rain, snow, and over a foot of snow yesterday), the snow for example is getting into the engine bay from the openings in front on the hood via blowing and drifting from the wind and sitting on the components inside.

Should I be concerned about this or what? What do you guys think? Thanks.

I have seen posts on here that Ford's engines do not like pressure washing, that is a concern for me, my last truck (GMC) was never affected by pressure washing, I washed the **** out of that truck engine, I like a clean engine. Don't know if the snow melting in there is as bad as doing a pressure washing, anyways, if it was me I'd try my luck! Water gets in there through the grill...

wax the area around the openings and put some good 3m painters tape over the openings. w/ all the extra moisture in there if you have the hood insulation it will fall apart.
Not a lot of water actually gets through the radiator in the rain. my under hood is pretty clean and spot free and its been raining a lot here.
