I've noticed a lot of image posts on this site of various engine bays with the engine cover removed. Is this removal in some way an advantage of some sort (better engine cooling, etc..) or just a purely aesthetic thing?...just curious.
Thanks!.

Re: Plastic engine cover
the Engine Cover is for mainly looks. If you notice on the underside of the cover is a insulation, im sure in the cold winter months this would help insulate the engine with some warmth, but most people Remove the Cover and leave it off.
