2.5L Hybrid
I ordered the parts and installed an engine cover on my 2022 Lariat hybrid. I was curious if it would make a difference in the engine noise or make the engine run hotter. In the end, maybe the engine is quieter but there was a lot of wind noise the day I did the install so the jury is out on the noise. As far as making it run hotter, that doesn't seem to make a difference either (granted the temp was only 25). There's a warmer day coming up (supposed to hit 50) and I'll test it again.

Here are the part numbers; (total spend was under $150, but I used FordPass points)

Ball stud ------------------ AA5Z-6N958-A
Threaded Stud ------------ W714647-S450B (comes 4 to pack)
Nuts for Threaded Stud -----W520201-S437 (comes 4 to a pack)
Cover -------------------- LZ6Z6A949B

I included a picture that points out the location of the ball studs and the threaded stud. The two forward ball studs are molded into the manifold, the ball stud you order will screw into a threaded insert on the passenger side toward the rear and the threaded stud you order will screw into the threaded insert located on the driver side toward the rear. The threaded nut goes in and gets hard to turn without bottoming out, so was afraid of punching a hole in something underneath so I put one of the extra nuts on the bottom of the stud as a spacer. The nuts are 6mm X 1.00 pitch.

On the day I did this, it was 25 degrees with about a 30 MPH wind. After installing the cover, I took a 12 mile drive and noted the temp gauge. About 2 miles were into the wind, the rest was with the wind. It fluctuated between 3 and 4 bars. At the end of the drive, I un-installed the cover (it's not hard with a nut driver) and went back over the same 12 mile stretch of road. I duplicated my driving as much as possible. Of course the wind direction was reversed but it seemed that even driving into the wind for 10 miles on the way back, the fluctuation in bars were about the same, 3 and 4 bars.

I will try to find something like a file handle to attach the nut to because the cavity in the cover for the it is quite deep and not finger friendly. I like the cover because it only says Ford on it.

I live in an area where varmints/mice like to find warm places to hide and build nests.
You may want to check now and then for mice under the cover..fyi.
I will not be getting a beauty cover myself. Personal preference.

Have you thought about downloading a decibel meter and taking a reading when you are driving?

they are different part numbers, but ecoboost one more than likely much easier to find in a salvage yard. Engine cover from ford escape is correct part to ask for, I'm just not sure what years it would be.
Thanks not a big deal for me but I would like it.

Nice install. Is there a Ford hybrid that cover is standard on?
Both of my Fusion Hybrids (1018/2019) have this cover installed from the factory.

from a listing today at dealnews maybe you might be interested in soundproofing at the firewall (thought I had seen some service diagrams as to placement locations).

Regardless of the OP's review that the cover doesn't increase engine temp, I'm wondering if the fact that FORD has discontinued the EB cover has anything to do with the engine fire recall issue. Just a thought. I do not plan to make this mod myself - if I ever get my Maverick.

Fact is no TSB exists to remove engine covers on Ford or Lincoln vehicles using this engine cover. If Fod considered the engine cover a fire risk there would be action to address it.

Its most likely discontinued as part of penny pinching.

I believe the parts guy found it by ordering the cover for the last year that the cover was offered on a Ford hybrid Escape (at least that is what I remember) and we got lucky, no 'Escape' embossed on the cover. The part number shows 'obsolete' on Ford Parts but maybe your dealer could find it. Mine did.
Does anyone know the part #for the Ford escape hybrid 2.5 ltr engine cover. I have been trying the junkyards but they need a vin or part #. Hope someone can help e

I tried to order the last one in the country, but the dealer can't locate it in their inventory. It's also been marked obsolete by Ford, so no way to get another one.
