WTG SSEi95...it looked like someone killed a couple of chickens under his hood. (Going to pull mine off before the MN guys get here and SSEi95 sees my totally stock one)

Mines totally stock. Just painted. Found it today though....He tossed it in the back seat lol.

engine cover
 

has anyone noticed any adverse conditions from removing the cover. Also is it of any advantage to removing the cover besides for performance? I would like a response asap. I am going to get the my SSEi ready for the Pontiac show on the 12th.

The only reason its there is to cover the engine for aesthetics as well as muffle some of the valvetrain noise.

also to cover the vacuum lines and prevent them from breaking. I tried doing a tune up on my 93 and broke a line becasue the cover wasnt on and i was on top of the motor to reach the back part :oops:

and just why were you using vaccum lines for support?

I think the reason it broke was because it was a 93. Old and brittle the vacuum lines become.
