    did you spray degreaser into the alt? i dont think its necessarily the water, but more the degreaser that kills the bearings.

    i never cover mine, but i dont spray it directly, it only gets wet with low pressureness. same thing with the ignition components, they can get wet, but dont force water into the cracks.

    carefulness is really the dividing line in the should-bays-get-sprayed debate...

        I've washed hundreds of engine bays, including mine countless times, and never killed anything, except for my buddys Hyundai accent, but that was due to a poor spark plug area design by Hyundai. That car always had a check engine light after that.

            I haven't sprayed down many engines with a hose or pressure washer except for like 3. I never covered anything though. The only problem I had with doing it was I got water down in one of the spark plug galleys on my Eclipse. Some paper towels, compressed air, and a little bit of tiem and everything was good. I wouldn't call you a dumbass. Maybe just a coincidence or run of bad luck.

                  She was turned off and I let it sit for a little to dry up..What I really needed to do was used some compressed air and blow everything off...

                  I have a good ALT on my Parts Car but thanks....

                    ok np

                    also if the car is running the heat will evaporate most of the water and wont let it settle, causing damage

                      Run it around the block, and keep a spare battery with you just in case. Get that alternator nice and toasty. ive washed mine plenty of times, maybe im just lucky...

                        Sounds like you just had 2 bad alternators.
