Engine Cover...What do you think?

[Darky]

Lets face it...Our engines are not pretty. Here's one manufacturers suggestion to spice things up..what do you think?
I THINK it says HONDA under the black
I don't think I'm sold on it.

Heres does say honda.

I'd say it will cause the coil packs and other components to run even hotter and wouldn't suggest it.

...nor should they be, IMHO. Efficient - yes. Reliable - sure. Pretty - who cares?

"Engine cover" --> "hood"

LOL, I doubt it. Heck, my 13 Escape 2.0 is not only painted, but insulated underneath.

Some engines are designed to function properly with a cover and such cover should not be removed. GM's 3800 Series II V6 was an example. In addition to quieting injector noise, it also served as a duct to direct cooling air to the back of the engine.

Engines that don't have engine covers were designed to function properly without one. Adding one may or may not cause problems. I'd rather not take the risk.

I'm not complaining or anything..thats just my opinion

Agreed

I miss when engines had a nice painted and lettered valve cover and that was all they needed. Now even the valve cover is looking like its an after though.

That's a blanket statement that applies to any thing ever. Eating a doughnut may or may not cause you problems.

Do you know his ridiculous your blanket statement sounds?

So I can drive my civic in -10 degree weather and also drive it in 110 degree Las Vegas strip weather. I'm sure the "air flow" is totally important.

LMFAO. I guess nobody in hot climates is allowed to sit in their civic while it idles for 20 minutes. It might ruin everything in the engine bay. LOL

Oh wait, we have sensors, and a radiator thingy, and a fan thingy. LOL

That's a pretty bad analogy. If you're allergic to a doughnut, you'll have varying levels of discomfort after eating it. If your car's allergic to one of your uninformed modding decisions, your wallet will be hurting a lot more than your stomach was with the doughnut.

Is the 2017 CR-V not supposed to have the same engine as the Si? Why does the valve cover look so different?

That's a resonator you're seeing on top of the 2017-current CR-V 1.5L turbo engine - not a valve cover.

"There is also what initially appeared to be a mystery box on top of the 1.5-liter turbo. A quick call back to engineers revealed it to be a special resonator designed to absorb and attenuate induction noises caused by the turbocharger..." - http://www.motortrend.com/cars/honda/cr-v/2017/2017-honda-cr-v-first-look-review/

Did any one install and have any issues?

 

[PiYauD]

I installed mine at about 15 miles, just got 213 miles yesterday, so far so good. I do keep tabs on it here and there. However it could be to early to tell, I'll update if anything occurs.
