I just installed a big valve head with new gaskets but i want to check for oil leaks and i hate having to take the shroud off and on to keep checking. will it be okay if i take it out for like a 1-2 mile ride without the shroud just to check for leaks? or will the heat cause harm in that short of a ride? thanks.

Not recomended , the covers are for cooling.

the oil will leak past the shroud, you will see it.
i wouldn't run it without one.

I ran it for about a half mile at WOT once it was warmed up, no leaks and no sign of damage. shroud is now back on.

That was taking a chance but glad you did not burn it up, you do a compression check before the run and after to see if it's the same

Don't sit in traffic or let it idle for extended periods of time. It'll be fine. I see you already did it. |
