stupid me. yeah ricey is right. open cams=major bling, because its cool to show off how they spin while the engine is on. and its even cooler looking while you're driving on the freeway with your hood shut thats when people notice the most

In all seriousness, if you are doing it so you can adjust the cam gears, try cutting a half moon shape in the cover. That way you can still get to the bolts, but you have much less of a chance of getting a rock or something shot in there (not that I really expect it to happen, but better safe than sorry).
