it will be perfectly fine with the tins on provided the cooling fins on the engine are clean and the fire wall is in place with the proper duct, the tins that wrap the engine are designed to force air over the cooling fins and the engine will overheat if you remove them. i recommend removing the engine and removing the tins so you can clean the cooling fins, there usually filled with mouse nest and dirt, once that's done put it all back together and it will be good to go.
