Plastic motor covers retain heat?
 

Wouldn't you think the plastic engine covers on our cars cause heat retention? Has anybody removed theirs permanently? Thoughts/insight?

I run my 2005 Monte SS without the engine cover , Never had a problem..

I agree and I too run without an engine cover. I also added an aluminum l26 uim to replace the plastic one. :)

I dont even have one but when I get one im just going to put it on for show. Not while driving daily.

I'm willing to bet it makes no difference at all.

When I got my Monte it had no engine cover. The Temp ran about half. With my cover my engine temp trends have not change!

Thanx 4 ur input folks. Preciate ur responses.

I doubt it would make a difference with or without it.
