Engine Compartment Insulation

___________________________________________________________

     The original or PO had installed this sound / heat insulation in the engine compartment.  It was becoming a mess to maintain and falling apart.  So, I took the cabinet front off and cleaned it all off.  A vacuum worked well. I stretched this project out over three weeks just working some on the weekends.  Made a big different in the sound and the cost was just right.

A before look and in bad shape

Stripping it all out.  What a mess

I pulled the front of the cabinet off with the doors and drawer openings.  You just have to pull this off for any real engine area work.

You don't really have to get it clean just so the new insulation will fit well.

I choose to work with the stuff at Lowes. Came in a 4'x8' sheet and was able to cut it with a knife.  Price was right.

         

The cabinet front finished up nicely.  Used SS screws and 2" washers.

I gave the front a good cleaning and waxing.

Now for a lot of patience in getting in and fitting the insulation to all those difficult places in the the engine compartment.

Still finishing up the small places.
