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.

Hey Guys sorry for my mistake. Must have been distracted or toooooo many suds. The Correct part number for the 2 front studs that hold this cover is 11611691. I put in 16616691. Whoops. Sam

    • Welcome back! No, it definitely doesn't pass the sniff test. Even "ceasefire" needs an alternative definition these days.    $5.29 at Kroger today
    • That makes sense, and I think you are describing the real product problem. Capturing data is the easy part. If the owner or technician has to manually dig through five minutes of millisecond-level logs, the product has already failed. The device would be at the ECM harness, not at the OBD port, so I agree that data retrieval and event marking need to be thought through carefully. The way I am thinking about the architecture is: The recorder itself should not depend on a phone, app, Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, or cloud connection to capture the event. It should always keep a local rolling buffer and lock the event locally. A button, phone app, or small cabin device would only act as an event marker. If the driver feels a stumble and presses the button 10–30 seconds later, the pre-buffer has to already contain the useful data. For data retrieval, the practical options would be a sealed service USB lead, Wi-Fi download, or a phone/cabin companion device. I would not expect the owner to remove the ECM-side module or work with raw files directly. The cloud or AI side would be for interpretation, not for capturing the event. The truck may have no connection when the issue happens, so the evidence has to be saved locally first. After that, cloud processing could help decode the data, compare it against baselines, and generate a readable report. For the first version, I would keep the automatic triggers conservative and objective: driver event marker bus-off error passive voltage drop / brownout device reset FIFO or queue overflow a normally periodic message disappearing side-to-side communication mismatch, if the topology supports that For “learning normal,” I agree with your point, but I would not want to overclaim it as automatic root-cause diagnosis at first. A realistic first step would be learned baseline comparison for that specific vehicle and operating condition. For example, a value would only be compared against similar conditions: RPM range load / MAP throttle position gear / vehicle speed coolant and oil temperature battery voltage AFM/DFM state, if decoded and validated Then the report could flag things like: this periodic message disappeared compared with its normal timing this value deviated from this vehicle’s normal range under similar conditions the same abnormal pattern repeated after the same type of event the anomaly occurred together with voltage, oil-pressure, misfire, or communication changes But I would still call that “abnormal pattern detected,” not “replace this part,” unless there is enough validated repair data behind it. So the intended product would not be “here is a huge log.” It would need to be an event package: what triggered the capture how much pre/post data was preserved what changed before and after the event whether the device itself reset, overflowed, or saw a bus error selected graphs around the event raw data only as supporting evidence From your perspective, what would make this kind of report useful instead of just another datalog? For example: What are the top 5 parameters or events you would want highlighted first? Would you trust a learned baseline for that specific vehicle, or would you prefer fixed thresholds? How much false-positive flagging would be acceptable before you stopped looking at the reports? What would a one-page report need to show for an independent shop to take it seriously? For misfire, AFM/DFM, oil pressure, or U-code complaints, what would you want the tool to flag automatically?
