You know, there is a Ford service procedure for owners with water in the spark plug wells that says to add an engine cover. If they’re discontinuing this how will they be able to apply this fix? ?

Just picked up an engine cover yesterday. 25 hp increase just putting it in the bed of my truck and driving home!! Can't wait to install for the real boost...:cool:

Along those lines what if a warranty issue arises for those with 2020 models with them? Granted , cannot see how a cover would need warranty replacement. Lol!

Since these are apparently becoming difficult to acquire, I think I'll remove mine and put it in a safe deposit box at the bank.

In a few short years it'll be worth a mint!!!

The cover is completely discontinued individually or in a kit per dealer. The bolts and standoffs are available for now individually.
These covers look really nice under the hood.
I'm gonna pass on this one, I don't mind what the engine looks like under the hood.
Not for nothing but the cover should come with all hardware included for a quick 123 install.
Everybody wants to nickle and dime us these days

it's going around Ford that all the engine problems , all of them I tell you , especially 2019 dampered Lariat's , can be traced to this foam abomination, I'd remove it immediately to try and save my engine , if there is any of it left, the old foam is toxic at this point and should be sent to someone trained in handling these type emergency situations, ima need the studs and nuts also ... PM me when ready to ship ...

Like @Trigganometry pointed out, the addition of this cover is part of an official Ford TSB for water getting into spark plug wells, freezing and cracking the ceramic on the plug. How can Ford discontinue the part with that TSB in place? Odd.
