Insulated the engine compartment today. Bought the insulation from McMaster Carr. It was the best product when all things considered, especially the price.
Excellent job. Looks Clean. Karma to you. ^.^d
Looks great! I did a quick search on the McMaster-Carr site but I didn't see the product you used. Any chance you could post a link or at least a name or search term?
Thanks, Don
Very professional job. Do you have the part numbers for the insulation?
Great job. Looks as good as new. This project is on my list so a link to the product page would be appreciated.
see ya

Don, type in heat shield in the search field window and you'll find it.

9350K3 is the part number. They have all kinds of stuff that is even better than this, but when I weighed in the cost, heat resistance, flame resistance, and noise resistance, I thought this was the best for the price. I only spent $110 vs $600 for the melamine foam.
by the way, I think the dust from the old insulation burned up my alternator. I have to go get it rebuilt. That will be on my next post, along with my seats I am getting reupholstered.
Thanks Richard,
I've tried various terms and I get to a page that lists 156 products but none seem to look like the pictures. It doesn't look like it, but perhaps he used rigid sheets... They seem to come 24"x48" sheets of varying thicknesses. Leaves me wondering if the old stuff was removed or covered over and how thick the new stuff is. I have blazed enough new trails down the renovation road for now, so I will be quite happy to look at what the smart folks on this forum have done and pick the one that looks the easiest on this one. ::)

Why not just head down to your local air conditioning supply and buy duct board? It would be easy to apply, flameproof and look good. Last time I checked it was in the 40.00 a sheet range for a 4 X 8 sheet. If you go this route you might do some looking into fabrication techniques before cutting, done right you end up with no raw edges and very little tape required.

Excellant job Rob!!!!!!!!!!! ^.^d Did you use a contact cement and if so what brand?
i didn't use air conditioning board, because they were not rated for high heat. most HVAC insulation is only rated to 200 degrees max.
I also did not use contact cement. I used foil tape from Lowes. It was really sticky and once you put it on you can't peel it off the insulation.
