Waterproofing v8
Im trying to waterproof the 350 chev v8 i have in my 75 series im looking for ideas on how others have done it, how do the comp guys keep there petrols v8s going??
06 Hilux Locked Lifted and Bulk Panel Damage
my holden 308 never had any troubles as the dizzy was at the back and stays quite dry, the leads are high and coil is on the back end of the intake manifold.
for the landrover disco V8 i have heard of rubber gloves around the dizzy cap/body join, bearing grease to seal it or an 'O' ring under the cap.
you could also place a weak sealant under the lead ends so they form a tight seal onto the coil/dizzy cap (they usually are tight enough though)
not a competitor so not sure what they are doing

Di-electric grease is your friend. Use it on all your electrical connectors, this includes spark plugs, dizzy cap, relay connetors and anything that does not have a factory O ring. Quality plug leads with sealed boots are also very helpful.
Make up a splash guard for your electrical componets effected by water to keep the very high pressure water from hitting them. ( you hit a big enough puddle fast .. that water hits your motor at the same speed)
Silicone can actually "wick" water into things. Di-electric grease (non conductive silicone based grease that does not attack plastics) stays soft and so long as you keep it clean will reseal when you put it back together
