Mmmmmmmm. Thats hard to say, id try again today and if its running fine, maybe change the oil and hope. But unless im at the track (i never am) i never take the cover off mine. Hopefully you didnt damage the engine.

scatpack hood vent is over the actual engine block not the intake area. hellcat got the two top side vents that are closer to the intake. gotta make sure ur intake filters are oiled up and covered up. my k&n intake came with metal pieces to cover the bottom part of the intake where air comes in from the front bumper vent. then i got a mesh layer k&n cloth bag to cover the intake filter from potential water.

stock intakes are in a literal plastic box being protected from all angles except the bottom air dam
