i would be against the coil pack covers,it would trap alot of heat and not allow the coils to properly cool and i would think it would effect the lifespan of the part itself.

heat transfer Good point and thanks for bringing it up. My own opinion is that this aluminum cover acts as a heat sink. I believe it actually draws heat out of the coil and provides it to the surrounding air for cooling especially now that it is no longer under a plastic cover. I have no data to prove this opinion but plan to collect it.
