An engine cover for at least partially enclosing a portion of an engine. The engine cover includes a body having an inwardly-facing surface for facing an engine and an outwardly-facing surface opposite the inwardly-facing surface. The body also includes a plurality of through-apertures disposed in spaced relation to one another about the body for mounting the body to an engine. The engine cover also includes a plurality of sockets integral with the body and disposed in spaced relation to one another about the body. The engine cover also includes a plurality of leads extending different lengths within the body between the outwardly-facing surface and the inwardly-facing surface. The leads extend between a first end exposed in a first of the plurality of sockets and a second end exposed in a second of the plurality of sockets different than the first socket. The first ends of the leads are exposed in different sockets and the second ends of the leads are exposed in a common socket for engaging a single mating socket.
