Default O2 Sensor Cover

82 Vette - How important is it to have the cover over the O2 sensor? Bottom of the cover fell off somewhere (that's what the rattle has been). Don't think you can find one anywhere.

Well, yes. There is a metal cover that surrounds to sensor. Yours does not have one?

Oh, that. Yeah I don't think they come separately. I've swapped to a heated sensor since installing the headers. I thought you meant a cover that was separate from the sensor that went on after you installed it.

Are you getting any screwy computer codes with the cover missing?

No, all fine. Just wondered if it could be left w/o the shield on it. Shield is better word than cover.
