Engine cover - yes or no?? Is it safe to remove the engine cover on our 5.3L V8 motors? I'm thinking about taking it off, but it looks like if any of those electronic parts/plugs gets wet, I'll be in a world of hurt.
Have any of you SS 5.3L guys removed your engine covers?? Any ill effects from getting wet/rain???
