Default Plastic engine covers c6zo6?

The heat down here in S. FLA. is getting into the 90++. Will it help reduce heat (engine bay) removing the covers?

Probably not by much, and almost definitely not noticeably... but it can't hurt. Getting some airflow over the coilpacks can't be a bad thing.

yeah, and i'm sure its better to have them cool.

i'm just saying you wont notice any difference in engine temperatures or operation of the motor. Coil pack failures are pretty rare on these cars too.

plus it looks better without them.
