the greatest risk is coolant mixing with oil and breaking down the lubricating properties of the oil. coolant will destroy engine oil (even a little) and bye bye bearings. driving with a BHG will result in engine damage

Yeah, could be. If that's the case, it will just have to be replaced with something a little better. It's been running this way for over half a year. Perhaps it's time. Going to be checking in with the mad scientist this week and get things squared away.

Yeah, but I just replaced the big hole with a Carbon Fiber overlay, so I don't reduce my drag Coefficient...
