There is no answer unless they tried to put a large aftermarket coil that did not fit, then didn't use it! Man that's fucked up! Look at the later coil covers 2005 - 2009. The early bd coil covers were small but the later yrs are larger and will hide this fu@k up! People just do not get it! The fin's displace the heat on these air cooled engines! Cutting them off does nothing but hurts them! Look at a Duetz diecel motor. Closest motor to a EVO style you will see! There air cooled diecel engines rocker boxes, full length rods. Just replaced a jug gasket on one.
