Do I really need the clear camgear cover??
I am putting a shopping list of stuff together for my EVO. I am getting some camgears and some HKS 280's. I dont know if the Zaklee clear cover would be necessary?
Anyhow I dont care about the bling, and would rather have a stock looking motor...
your thoughts please!!!

you dont need a clear one, but you do need a cover unless you want to risk foreign debris getting caught in the belt, possibly causing major damage to the valvetrain, pistons, etc...

Yeah, I did the same thing with my Integra, actually no, I did ride around w/o a cover for a long time but thats just risking it.
Forget it...I'll keep the stock cover and save me $100 or so towards mods that make power. Thanks.

Well, all though the clear cam gear cover is not needed, it is a very nice piece to have if you want to show off what you have. We have this peice on our black drag evo and the fitment is perfect. I would recomend one if you want a little bit of show with your go.

Buy dremel and shave off the ribbing on the back of the factory cam gear cover so it fits. That's what I did. If you don't it will rub and make a hellacious noise. I wouldn't run without one.

i dont know why people bash cam gears so bad. Have you ever heard of the bolts loosening? coming off, breaking? I haven't, I would get them stricly for the ability to have a better idle. To me, its worth it, but its not worth it to everybody.
