What did you do to your Raptor today? (Gen2)

[Old-Raptor-guy]

My truck also had the driver side valve cover crack. I used some black epoxy and fixed it a couple weeks ago. Checked it again today and it's still dry and no more burning oil smell when it puddles up and drips, plus it's hidden under the engine cover.

I was going to have Ford fix it under warranty but there's no updated valve covers so the new one will crack at some point also.

That F U Ck er cracks again i might loose my shit.
I don't run the engine cover, for me it is a big insulation blanket holding heat in the engine. but I don't show my engine bay off, so epoxy wouldn't bother me if it fixed the issue.

On a side note, mine is still under powertrain warranty. but I didn't want one of their gorilla's touching it.
Since I do about 15k a month in business with local dealer they gave me the parts to replace myself under warranty (they did not give me nor did they claim any labor).

The exact reason I didn't take mine in for a warranty repair. Cost me $9 and 15 mins of my time to fix it myself.

Interesting reason not to run a cover, you think it holds in that much heat? Any data to show removing it makes any difference?
