 Skip Brown who are the main people on Lotus Sunbeams, refuse to fit cam covers, if they are not needed on rally cars why put them on road cars.They say that they have never seen a car without covers have aproblem as stones do not 'jam', but get thrown away from the belt, with cam covers they have no where to go and get into the belt.

My car went into the gravel at Sepang F1 curcuit in malaysia two weeks ago (again), big off at over a 100mph long way throught the gravel, stones evrywhere, towed back to the pits removed the stones, no damage, and my engine sits with 2 and 1/2 inches of ground clearence so if stones where going to go into the cams then was the time.

So I agree much easier to work on the car without the cam covers
