Are you talking about the valve cover or the spark plug/coil cover or the cam gear cover?
Cam gear cover you MIGHT be okay, spark plug cover you will be okay. I hope your not talking about the valve cover.

This is a joke right, are we talking valve cover, spark plug cover or upper timing belt cover. Would not recommend driving with any of those off, Mitsu put them there for a reason, not just for looks. Ok maybe the sparkplug cover but nothing else...if you remove your timing belt cover you run the risk of any little object getting between the belt and pulleys and damaging your timing belt it will not be a sudden problem but it will definently catch up to you...

hahhaha, nobody even asks if he's talking about the cam GEAR cover? you most definetly CANNOT drive without the CAM cover(aka valve cover). I haven't run the cam gear cover in over a year. Someone tell me they've EVER had a problem with it, i might reconsider. You guys ever find any rocks in your engine bay? i haven't....not in 10 years of owning cars. A bug, psssh, will be squished and dead....no harm to anything.

And without a the Cam/valve cover you'll have oil spraying all over your engine bay.
You can go without the CamGEAR cover for a while if you still have the lower plastic tray (that covers the entire engine) and not going offroad.
