thanks to Tibbyguy for letting me use his picture wink1.gif:

If I take this blue painted piece off my engine, and leave it off, is there any downside to it? What about just pulling it off and putting it back on?

You may get water or debris in the spark plug cups/holes. That's the only downer that I could think of. Don't you have to have it removed to use Magnecor, or any larger diameter plug wires?

that's what I thought I remembered... people with Magnecore wires have to have it off because of the size of the wires I think

Yeah, it has channels on the underside and the wires need to fit in them. Anything over 8mm is too big I believe.

If you check the Image Gallery, there are a couple of pics of my engine. I have Magnecore Wires and they fit fine underneath the cover. As for leaving it off. If you don't have to leave it off for long that would be ok, but like Java said, you run the risk of getting debris in there. One bad thing is that it doesn't look very nice with the cover off.

So Magnecors will fit under there. Cool, I have some on the way.
