Yes, noticeable difference on mine.Is it helping at all with noise?
I honestly have not paid attention. I wanted it to cleanup the look under the hood and for the help with keeping the engine cleaner.Is it helping at all with noise?
Finishes it off nicely.Another cover installed. Big thanks to the forum members who did the research and posted the correct part numbers. Cost me $101 shipped.
I honestly think it does reduce some of the sharper engine noise. My cold start and drive this morning was definitely different sounding. Plus, I just like the more finished look of the bay.Is it helping at all with noise?
The driver side rear ball stud you need is Ford #AA5Z-6N958-A. This makes for a perfect flat fitting engine cover.Does it rattle or move if you just leave that one stud off?
A couple responses on here say it is noticeably quieter.Anyone notice the engine being quieter?
Thanks for the post. I'll be using the pictures from it. I ordered the items from your parts list. Parts were $4.00 more but shipping is literally doubled from your $18.00. Yesterday to ship was $36.00.****EDIT****
Updated to include the correct drivers side corner mounting stud part number as well as updated install photos. My apologies to anyone who bought the wrong part, I paid for it also if that means anything. It was not my intention to post misleading info, so I apologize.
Also, Shoutout to rgunning00 for finding the correct part.

I finally got all of the parts in and got my engine cover installed on my 2.0L Maverick XLT FX4. I wanted to create a parts list / install photo post so here it is. I think most of this has been covered before, but I know there was some confusion on what parts were needed an where they should be installed, so I hope this clears things up.

I'm not sure if having an engine cover really does anything or not, it seems to be debatable. I think it looks great and I wanted it to "button up" the engine compartment so for me it was more of a personal choice. After I drive it around for a week or so, I can let you guys know if it cuts down on engine noise and what not if requested.
Install was pretty straightforward. I included photos that show part install locations. Hopefully this helps. Cheers.
hear ya, my first mod would be removeInteresting people want engine covers now, I remember when manufacturers started putting plastic covers under the hood and people getting p**** it was all plastic under the hood, anyways that being said I removed the engine cover from our hybrid fusion for good reasons, my part of Texas we like to get critters to nest under the hood and no better place for them then on top of a 4cy engine between the cam cover and engine cover.
Holy smokes, great post! Thanks!!!****EDIT****
