The features allow the installer to align the engine cover by touch. The locating lip is a macro feature formed integrally with the engine cover. The system includes an engine cover, a body attached to and extending from the engine cover. The body has an outer surface and an aperture for receiving a mechanical fastener. The aperture is formed through the outer surface. A locating lip extends outwardly from the outer surface. A doghouse feature may be formed on the engine cover. The body may be in the shape of an elongated tower that is attached to and extends from the doghouse feature. The locating lip is defined by a wall. The wall may be a ring-shaped wall or may be a semi-circular wall.
