I see quite a few build pictures with the timing cover removed, and the cam(?) gears exposed. Why would someone want to do that?
It looks cool and all, but is there some advantage?

Strange question? Timing cover removed?

If you've got pretty anodized or adjustable cam gears, then you can show them off. You can also get a clear timing cover. I suppose that if you have adjustable gears, you could also adjust them easier.
Personally, I'm not into the show aspect of the motor, so I'd want to put the cover back on, in order to prolong the life of my timing belt.

Stock, no. It's stupid..
If you have adjustable gears, then you'd definitely want to access them much easier..

Exactly my thinking, I don't care how unlikely it is, I'm not going to be the one sitting on the side of the road bitching. As for the adjustable cam gear reason that has been mentioned, I have seen a 2 part design that completely covers them, but can be removed without having to remove anything else.Poodles;1831661 said:

there is so much to gain from a small adjustment. Why do they keep it to 0mkiiichip;1831714 said:
