Default Installing a V6 engine cover...

Ok, so I've bought this cover from a member here...




I can't for the life of me figure out how to put it on.

did u disconnect the wires attached on top towards the back of the intake manifold and relocate them behind it. if not do that then work your way from the back to the front...

Har har, very funny.

Actually, I was thinking duct tape. Do you think a little piece here and there will work, or should I go all the way around the engine once or twice, like when you wrap your finger with a band aid?

Ok, I thought those wires would have to be moved. Thanks.

Tree sap aside, nothing other than the cover is required. If you're serious about getting it on there, PM me and I will walk you through it.
