Don't do it! I did that on my previous car(Eclipse gst) and something got caught in the cams. Once something gets pulled into the cams its already too late in most cases.

what are the chances of something large or strong enough getting into a cam gear tooth and screwing everything?.....i mean if all the covers are on except for the cam gear cover you should be fine.......its not like we run with our hoods off .....
i dont go off roading and rain shouldnt be a problem
