Your engine cover traps the rising the heat, removing the engine cover should allow the heat to disperse a bit better.

For two days, no. You will be fine. Even if it is noisy to you im sure you can put up with it for two days.

They are nothing more than a Turtle who has hijacked your engine bay.

There is no need to save the Turtle under your bonnet, send it back to it's natural habitat. The Sea.

Cheers.

Just be aware that an uncovered engine may lose confidence due to being fully exposed and may not perform as well.

Overconfidence may result in a predetonation.
