And starters - My starter died very shortly after that aventure.
BTW - an electric cooling fan with a manual shut off switch would save the cooling fan but there is not plug and play aftermarket that I know of.
best bet to protect the engine bay (alt, starter, fan (if shrouded correctly), but not so much the air box, is the correct crossing technique. Steady throttle to maintain a bow wake. This will creat a void in the engine bay. Once you stop or slow down all bets are off.
