fh4ever Posted 9 hours ago Report Share Posted 9 hours ago in another post about clattering noise, I did not want to hijack the thread with my own questions. So.... 1004ron... you mentioned in that post "Is this one of the models where Ford did away with the aesthetic / acoustic cover?' I thought this might explain why I dont have an engine cover. But then I assumed you are only joking... you are joking, right? My 2024 does not have one. I do see on mine what looks like cover attachment points. Does it hurt anything to not have it on? Was its purpose to cover up all the ugliness? Mine also does not have any underhood sound deadening insulation. Is it supposed to? It's a 2024 with only 27k miles when I bought it. It is odd both piece are not there. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
STBEAST Posted 8 hours ago Report Share Posted 8 hours ago My 2021 ST did not come with an engine cover or a hood insulator blanket. Looked kind of funny with both of them missing. I did not buy the engine cover but I did buy the hood insulator blanket and installed it myself. It came with the attachment clips and looks so much better. Not sure how much it helps with noise. Never followed up on the engine cover but it does look like a cover from an earlier year will work 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fh4ever Posted 7 hours ago Author Report Share Posted 7 hours ago STbeast.... where did you buy it? aftermarket or Ford? I feel the blanket would keep some engine heat off the hood, maybe preserving the paint in the long run. maybe, maybe not?? The hood does look naked without it.

dabangsta Posted 3 hours ago Report Share Posted 3 hours ago (edited) 2019 2.0 didn't get the engine cover, but all seem to still have the hood insulating pad. I think 2020 both were deleted. You have some of the attachment points for the engine cover. With the change to the location of the oil fill and dipstick for the 2019+ engine, the Ford engine cover is difficult to find for your 2019+ (I don't think they made one). The Lincoln badged one seems easier to source. There is a stud and a ball top that replaces a regular stud on the engine for one of the attachment points. Personally I think it helps a bit with the loud clacky high pressure direct injection injectors and pump. I left it off of my 2016 MKZ, and while it is subtle, there is more clacking, but it isn't silent (nor is it all that loud).
