GXP engine cover warning
All of you GXP owners be careful removing and replacing the engine cover. The surface scratches very very easy. I popped mine off during a club meeting and scratched the corner putting it back on. I was very surprised that is scratched so easily.

It covers about 2 sqare inches in the lower right corner. It looks like my 2 year old niece drew a sqiggle with a sharpie pen. When i was putting the cover back on it was not down all the way in the back, when I tried to reposition the cover the front popped up and hit something under the radiator hose and put a nice scratch on it.
I havn't tried to reair it, not sure what if anything I can do about it.

Yep, thats what I have done, the engine cover has a sponge layer underneath...traps a lot of heat under the plastic intake manifold.
Doesn't help to control operating temps, but does help cool down time.
