2.7 engine cover installed

[HoosierDaddy]

Takes longer to find the holes than to install it.

Hmmm, I see my wife has been talking to her "friends" again.

Quality product. Easy to install, 3 mounts that screw into 3 open holes. Takes longer to find the holes than to install it.

I know everyone sees a engine cover. I see a spot to cook, reheat, defrost, and keep the coffee warm. Nothing some rivet nuts and a couple small cooking racks won’t fix. Gonna thermal it tomorrow. See what temp she gets up to.

I did paint mine, drilled out the mounts and added m6 rivet nuts for my thumb screws.

Thanks again for a out of the box product. Definitely gonna come in handy!

That turned out great!

I get it. I put mine on my toolbox. It just looks really cluttered, so you covered up the cluttered engine bay with something to make it look clean, then made it more cluttered.

Man some of you are so easy. Lmfao

Nice!!! Mine is due in and plan on painting as well, AMB.

Like the nut rivet idea!!!

What are the two Items sitting on top?

Thank you. It’s gonna work out perfect.

I get it... couldn't tell for sure, needed better cheaters....

Single burner plate and coffee burner. Just another spot to use them while parked to save space.

Keeps it from getting rained on

Shake down run on the cover today. Little tight with my rt hood. Will relocate the bronco emblem and may take a 1/2” of the mounting legs which I will have to key and make adjustable or cut and weld.

So for hotdogs you just throw them on top and close the hood. Don’t think they’re going anywhere.

Any idea of engine temperatures before / after installation? I'd be concerned about hot spots and heat soak.

Not when it’s open.

When it’s open, one usually needs to reach the engine.

You forgot to put lights in it.

You forgot to put lights in it.

Lmao. I didn’t. They’re in the underside of the hood. Pair of kc pucks. Do have red leds going in to light all the vents up.

For running temps while wheeling I was actually running about 10 degrees cooler. 213 for most the day on engine. 193 was max on trans. I’m usually close to 230 and 215 and that was with the vented hood last time.

So no. I noticed no difference with the cover on.

Highway I was around 183 and 173.

That’s why I changed out to thumb screws.
