Default valve cover cutting

I'm putting on Toda camgears and timing belt soon. So should I cut out my JDM valve cover? What do you think?

If you want the ability to adjust at the dyno without pulling the valve cover, then cut it. If you have time to pull the cover to adjust, then don't cut it.

Best practice = have a "beater" cut valve cover for dyno days, and an uncut cover for the rest of the time.

, i just dont feel goood about having my t-belt exposed like that....thats just me though. i am sure you can get a valve cover for under 50 or close to 50 anyway...i think its worth it.
