I had to take my '06 EX in to the dealer because of a cracked block. Luckily it was covered by the warranty. When I got it back it was missing the engine cover that my car came with. The service manager said my model doesn't come with one and he can't find it in the part's book. I could care less about replacing it, it's just for looks and gets in the way when working on it, but I know it had one. I was insulted because the jerk said it never did. He actually started a heated argument with me over it and almost came to throwing blows. I do all of my own maintenance, so I know it was there. I spilled oil under it once when pouring new oil in during a oil change. I even described it to him. I'm not imagining it existed - it was there! Maybe what my car came with was a rare item? Regardless, I can't find a picture of one anywhere. Can someone provide me with a photo of a EX engine with a stock engine cover? Mine was gray and had HONDA across the top of it. I want a photo of one so I can show this jerk and his boss that they do/did exist. I'll send a reward to whoever can come up with a photo of this.

had a member before that was missing hers and was able to buy it off ebay for cheap.

 

This the right year?

 

thats a k series engine, op has a d17 (ex)

 

I thought 7th gen was 01-05. 2006 would be an 8th gen. 8th gens didn't use the D17. They used K or R series.

 

damn your right, thought it said 05.
this is what the op's car looks like with the honda cover

 

Guys, it has an R18. Those are both K-series you posted.

This is the correct one:

Whoa ^ neve seen it haha

 

This is the correct engine, but mine had a plastic cover over the top of it. It covered the valve cover, the exhaust manifold and most of the alternator. It's in none of the parts books. I can't find a photo of one anywhere.

 

Is this it?



Or bigger?
