Default engine cover
I took the cover off my engine to look for the PCV valve. It was late so I didn't bother to put it back on. I think the engine runs cooler with it off. And my milage seems to be better.Is this possible or is it just in my head?

The only other con is increase noise......but why would you want to muffle your whine.
Pros outweigh the cons.

Leave it off and enjoy.
