Upset over missing engine cover!

[bjbena]

No insulator or long stud required. You only need the cover and the 3 short studs.

Thanks, bud. You saved me like $50!

I thought it's 4 studs - 3 short and one long? Doesn't it also need the insulation part that fits under the cover?

The long stud is already there when you pull off the wire brace.

Yup. Confirmed. Just installed the cover and three short studs. Looks a whole lot better now.

Got mine the other day, no engine cover, probably going to bring that up when I get my first service

Since I was posting this in a different thread, let me share this highly accurate model of a big Bronco that you can find in the toy sections.

This has probably been posted. I'm not reading 30+ pages? sorry.

Mine came with one but good news for you 2.0 owners.

Now they’re indoctrinating our kids to not expect engine covers!

All the 2.0 BS's come with them. It's the 1.5s that got mysteriously removed at some point.

540B is number 4, "Insulator", you dont need to buy this, it's already on the engine, under the wire and pipe rat's nest.
I have tried to buy the white stud, 957A from several sources, all have told me that it has been discontinued. If anybody finds a source or replacement, please post.

The insulator IS NOT under the wire and pipe rat's nest! It goes over it to keep the freaking foam engine cover from melting all over your engine! The 6a957 long plastic ball mount stud is available, but you might have to accept backorder status (it is available as of 11-15-21), but proceed and it will show up/or at least mine did! When one asks for the "engine cover", be sure to ask for the "engine cover assembly and all related parts to install correctly on my engine". Here is the current weblink... https://parts.ford.com/shop/en/us/fuel-system/fuel-injection-and-pumps/insulator-12018245-1?dealerId=24626&catalogId=251&langId=-1&storeId=1405&krypto=nydXFblgg/RIsamiacPVSgoUCxIhGpQzyyhwGZ/5C32WpJk7mhCUluuFWfMkgINlsHHZLDOpDrBmVHf+vErhrMuQlSmQF7J1Ig8YmxhVHUN1aEQre4RO24pEc2xvtWBVGRgOcAAt2m1Dsm7UlGRFTW47mQvO8kdNXmZOlpvVCLDdMzuOxeFQPphYhVCyEaIh6aKP8RkNgvUe9aGJMYWl+NTvRjRVPrQHAVPXi5+UkRGnxD1q7dIx/ip6CHS+SzIf6cikagZY7G95ebUf97PXmAB4kbu1/VJnlrUzFRVSF54=

As for the white plastic stud, when I had tried to buy it online, at least 3 dealers told me it had been discontinued. This was before it was determined that it is already installed on the engine, so there is no need to order it even though it may become available.
As the original early poster about the missing engine cover, I bought the insulator. It is identical to the pre-installed insulator that is UNDER the wire & pipe rats nest. There is no room to install a second one between the top of the engine and the engine cover. Please back up your statements with pictures of the insulator installed on top of the wires & pipes. I really do think you should read this entire thread, it is quite educational as well as entertaining!

Regrets for my posting incorrect information as to needing the insulator part. Thank you for getting me straight on that! I zoomed into the pics my daughter sent me and see the insulator clearly, and as you clearly know, is already there. Not to mention you bought one and already tried what I mistakenly thought necessary. Regards

After many unfruitful encounters with Ford Customer Service 800 number and chat, I have determined they are as useless as they are clueless. They sound very sympathetic but can’t resolve anything. My next step is writing to board of directors. (Not engine cover related)

What you should do is take it in for its first service, then when you get it back ask what happened to your engine cover that was there before the service!

This actually did happen to me in a previous vehicle and I did get my engine cover back!

Our Bronco Sport Big Bend 1.5L doesn't have the engine cover either. Doesn't matter to me.
