Bumping up this old thread!

 

I have exactly the same question as renz09 - is it possible to put an engine cover (or "Upper Intake Manifold Insulator") on a 2009 SEL Ford Edge? The MKXs of the same model year have an engine cover, and it came standard on Edges from 2010 up. Would it be possible to adapt a 2010-15 Edge engine cover on a '09, given the engines are exactly the same?

You need to make sure you get one from an iVCT engine, not a TiVCT engine. So one from a 07-10 MKX would work, but one from a 11 Edge would not. Should also be able to look for one from a 07-10 MKZ, 09-12 MKS of MKT. Might even try a Mazda 6 or CX-9, but I don't think any of the Ford iVCT models ever came with a cover.

Why would you want to install a foam insulator on top of your engine to encourage additional heat to be trapped and heat up all your parts and coils? I donated my 2011 cover to the mice for bedding.

Why because it says "LINCOLN" in nice big letters across the engine, that's why.

 

(Btw, it's real plastic in the Lincoln version, not the cheaper foam, in the Ford version).

 

Shame it's not chromed, but hey, they have to hold costs somewhere. ....

 

(Yes. I'm kidding).

 

BTW, on my 09, it's listed as a "engine appearance cover".
