Any body paint what use to be the valve covers? I think that would look good. I would like to see it before I do it. I found some 5.3 powered emblems that are chrome. I would use them on the black covers and paint the cover mentioned black to match.

What is the purpose of this engine cover on the Cadillac? I was curious if the cover provided some sound insulation for masking the ticking of the direct injection pump and injectors. Please let me know on that, if it provides extra sound deadening I am ordering one today....................... The engine ticking does annoy me and would be worth a couple of bucks if this cover lowers the ticking volume.

 

I agree, I would spend a few buck on this cover to reduce the ticking, although mine sounds like it resonates through the exhaust manifolds and out the bottom of the truck.

Not sure if you ever got an answer on this, but as far as I can tell, it does not deaden any sound. I believe it's purely for looks.... And it does look good.

For any of you who want to order this late model style bowtie emblem for your engine cover, Trwtow told me that this is a 2014 Camaro V6 engine cover emblem. I ordered one from gmpartsdirect.com this morning. The one I have on mine is the "older style" bowtie and it's always bothered me (I'm way too anal I guess). Anyhow, the GM part # is 92068693 if you're interested. It costs around $40 with shipping.

 

THANKS Trwtow for the good info!!!!!

nvm, that was a blonde moment. If its a v6 that isnt exactly going to work is it? Which is too bad because the cover for that engine is much larger.

Had to get my engine bay ready for shows, lots of color matched paint to the plastics. Did the engine cover modification special thanks to all of you for leading the charge. S&B Air Intake helped clean things up and added a little extra attitude.

FYI, If anyone has a 2015 and the 2 front studs are not there for using the cover, the GM part number for these studs are #16616691. You need 2. List for 4.10 each.

Why hasn't anybody painted what use to be valve covers.I haven't seen any covers painted on the 5.3. I know it's not a valve cover,just thought it would look better to match the cover that's not included with our trucks.

I got my engine cover yesterday and installed it last night. It fits perfectly with no modifications. Thanks for the tip rxnotec!!!!

What part number(s) did you order. I assume that's a Cadillac cover with a Chevy circle bowtie? Looks really good.

      Do you remember that Harley Davidson was more successful (solvent) when it produced about 60% of the market demand (by design) and forced wait times of up to three years? Even when your turn came around it was, "Take what we are giving you or move to the back of the line and start over". HUGE markup's were 'normalized' and dealer killed. 40% markup and no floor plan? What's not to love? Greed will kill them yet. They have surplus production and customer base is tanking. And still they think nosebleed pricing will work.

      The engine was done as part of the 6.2 recall?   You'd have to see if your VIN also has the 6.2 engine special coverage on it.  Coverage number is N252494003.  If you have this, your engine is covered under this and NOT the GM replacement part engine warranty which is 3yr/100k from the date of install.  The 3yr/100k mi warranty is in effect for non warranty purchases.     This is not any different if it was replaced under warranty without a recall or special coverage.  So if you had a 5.3 and it popped at 3 years in at 50,000mi during the 5yr/60k powertrain, the replacement engine would not get the 3yr/100k, and instead gets the remainder of the 5yr/60k as coverage.     So N252494003 gives 10 years or 150,000mi of coverage, which ever comes first, starting at the vehicle in service date.  So if your in service date is 01/01/2022, N252494003 gives you special coverage of the engine until 01/01/2032 or 150,000mi, whichever comes first.  So if your start date was 01/01/2022, you'd have left 5 years and 4 months (lets round to august 1st), or 62,000mi left of coverage.   So you need to know your in service date to know how much coverage is left.

      Injector update

      By CamGTP · Posted

      Okiee dokie there bud, way to take things to the extreme.   I guess you missed the whole point and take things way to serious. I installed different EV6 style injectors that just so happen to be larger in my car running the same LQ4 engine and with a better spray pattern than the stock style injectors and I noticed no difference in the idle quality. Kinda was my round about way of saying that even if you put the same size but better style injectors in your truck, you will likely see the same thing.    I'm sure you're great to have conversations with in person if that's how you act through a keyboard. One little things sets you off and now I guess my dick is all up in your face.

      I can't believe that could possibly be the case. It should be 36mo/100k miles from installation. Then again, it also seems like since a dealership installed it, it'd all be in the system and you wouldn't need to worry about registering, either. Shows you what I know. 😄 Hope this one outlives the warranty!
