Water + Opti = Diaster... try fan or hair dryer to see if you can dry it out first

I've also heard of taking the opti and putting it in the oven on low. Wrap it in foil paper. Live and learn and good luck.

I know on my offroad vehicles, I've always used WD40 on the distributors after washing the motors and that's always worked wonders for me
