Thanks for the reply. I asked the guy if he thought we should cover anything under the hood before hand, but he said that most everything was sealed pretty good so there was no real need to do so. I knew the engine was to hot as soon as he started spraying...........steam was comming off the engine. Hopefully this didnt do any harm.
