everything else is completely fine to get soaked. the mechanics at my work spray the hell out of most of the cars engines that come in. i asked if it would hurt anything like the battery and they said nope, the guy even sprayed the hell out of the battery right in front of me to prove it lol. my car still runs, drove around today with no problems.

Yeah...I trust the average mechanic about as far as I can throw them. You really should wrap your dizzy up next time. Yes, it has a rubber seal and is probably snugged up good enough. I'm a bettin man, but I don't bet on "probably". Saving yourself the thirty seconds it takes to wrap the dizzy hardly seems worth it if you get water in there and your car won't start for a while, but thats just me..

theres a good chance that if u've taken ur car to the dealership, they've hosed it down. i kno for sure they spray every 01+ model cars(civics, cr-v's, pilots, etc..) and have seen them hose older models as well. i agree with u tho, better to be safer than sorry and it dosnt take much time. just sayin, the engine bay is pretty much completely water proof unless obviously drowned lol.
