Anyone install hybrid engine cover?

[Adospeed]

Plan on adding a cover and some sound deadening on the hood just make it a bit quieter.

Yeah, because on a good day the engine sound on the hybrid is still awful.

Here it is... 10 minutes of work due to busting out a 10mm socket. I ordered too many screws and nuts... Only needed one screw, one nut and one plastic ball screw.

Makes it look much cleaner. I have to wonder why Ford didn't include this on all Hybrid's. Thanks for the pics!

So, is your engine quieter now?

Would you be kind enough to share the needed parts list?
Thanks!

Probably doesn’t do anything for sound in the cabin.

U
Unfortunately It doesn't sound any quieter. I was hoping it would quiet the clicking of the engine but no lucky. I just hope it can help get my engine to temp faster.

Don't forget just order 1 of each. that looks to save you a little like 10 bucks. This is from Tasca. You may find it cheaper but I didn't.

Any chance you have part numbers on that Hybrid cover stuff?


Just as i was posting you added that info.

THANKS.

With all the posters complaining about their glowing red hot cat under the hood, do you think it’s a good idea to add more plastic under there? Maybe Ford left it off for a reason

The cynical side wonders if the cover melts, should the surge/hot-red catalytic issue occur. - My mind works like that, I admit it.

At least there's a TSB, with a proposed fix by late March, so the issue will be a non-issue soon.

For the record, I like the look with the cover, just not sure about spending better than $100 for it, although, my brother would get employee pricing on it. - When/If my Maverick gets produced, most likely as a 2023, being a late order.

I stumbled upon this.

Has anyone installed it?

I am not sure why you would want to put something on the engine that can restrict heat transfer into the air. Ford designed the engine without it and a cover can make it run warmer than they designed it

 

[Ecurtis]

I don't think that's true. It has the anchors already installed.... They also stopped installing them on the newer escapes. Its just a way to save money. That being said it is not just a piece of plastic but a thick foam... The same 2.5L is installed in the escapes I don't think a cover is going to do much for heat. I do hope to lower some noise.

Looks great thank for all the info.

Yeah, gotta keep that plastic intake cool or you might experience 'DANGER TO MANIFOLD!'

Got my parts yesterday, and I think one of them is wrong. lol

Fortunately I had a 6mm nut to use in the meantime.
