Interesting!  Dutiful Passage ('84 Westy) behaved the other way --
there was enough excess pressure in the engine compartment (going
down the highway)  to lift the (plastic) engine cover if it wasn't
latched down.  Note: this was probably without the splash tins
fitted, no idea whether it makes a difference.
