ABSTRACT:
An engine cover assembly for use in an internal combustion engine. The engine cover includes a composite plastic body and low creep material for the flange section of the engine cover. The low creep material allows for a low incident of creep at the bolts which secure the engine cover to the head of the engine. This insures the bolts will not loosen due to the degradation of the material to which the bolt is tightened. A mechanical or chemical lock is used to secure the plastic cover to the low creep material flange portion of the engine cover, The engine cover reduces the weight and the engine noise associated with the internal combustion engine.
