Placing engine cover?

Hey guys,

After installing stuff under the hood i have been having a lot of trouble pushing in the bottom right corner of the engine cover back in place, where the big round rubber is! Is there a trick to this ?

Take that big round rubber donut off the motor and place it on the cover. Then put the cover on as normal.

If I understand your problem correctly.

I always wonder how the hell I'm going to line up the holes with that big cover, but somehow it always seems to fall into place when I just generally line up the oil filler with the hole and throw it on there.
