| If you agree that the analogy is way off, that means you agree the importance of that part is far greater than you first said. But you said: "If you don't want to buy it, then don't. If you don't have it, there is no problem unless you do something really stupid, like turning on your engine when a bolt fell down into the timing belt area." Actually, the really stupid thing is not buying the inexpensive part to keep debris out which is a hundred times more common than a bolt falling out. Even with all of the shields/guards I've had rocks stuck in the plastic cover that had they not been in place, would have ruined by belt and my motor. "It doesn't sound like he wants to buy the part and wants to evaluate the consequences by getting insight." No one ever wants to spend money. Ever. But you're right that he wanted us to evaluate the consequences. Here's the shorthand version: Pros - Save $100 and have the very rare chance you might see a bolt stuck in there if you happen to open the hood for some random reason before starting the car.
Cons - Blown motor, bent valves, thousands of dollars If I'm being unreasonable I sincerly apologize.
