engine sealing
 

I would like to know how the engine compartment is sealed so as to no
water in around the starter or Alt.,I know the old army jeeps were
like that but forgot how it was done.
thanks Frank

That's a new one on me. Looking underneath from below, you can see all
the way up to the hood on any car I know of.

Why? Is water a problem?

I don't know of any engine that is sealed enough to keep the starter and
alternator dry. I submerge these components in my CJ5 on a regular basis,
and they work fine.

It was on the old DUKW, and perhaps the amphibious jeep, but most of us just
try to keep it from corroding after a swim.
