964 RS engine cover

is it worth removing engine cover..premature engine wear? good for cooling.. is it easy to take off

You mean the undertray?..If so, then yes, I'd recommend you remove it to reduce heat build up which can lead to premature wear of the exhaust valve guides

also, if you have a slight oil leak, then over time, as the sponge type material on the back soaks up the oil, you are creating a potential fire risk. If this catches fire, you may as well just stand back and get some steaks out, as you won't have a lot of luck putting it out It will probably increase the noise of the car a bit on noise tests though.

yea sorry,undertray thanks for advice..is it easily removed?

[fergus]

easiest if it's up in the air (i.e. on a ramp), but otherwise a ratchet with a 10mm (from memory) will do to undo the 8 or so bolts that hold it on. You could probably do it on a jack, but make sure you're using axle stands rather than relying on the jack alone!

If you are Dom and you go badger hunting, and park it in a hedge, if the car is upside down, that would also grant really easy access
