Doghouse Insulation how much room?

[deucehotrods]

I have a Workhorse W22 chassis, so its completely different application so I might just poke a small hole the size of a dime so the glue will come through the ceramic blanket the to hold on to the foil blanket. I would like to keep some air space between the engine and the engine cover because that is equally important to stop heat transmission. If its not necessary to keep it stuck to the top of the engine cover, I'll do it just like you did.

Guys, I’m telling you, with the ceramic blanket I employed, glueing it down is NOT GOING TO WORK.

Trust me on this.

And, it does’t need to be “glued” in. As I said, it’s not going anywhere. It literally rests on top of the plastic air intake cover.

Do what you will, but scope it out first, and you’ll see what I’m taking about.

Read what I wrote again S L O W L Y, maybe you'll get what I was trying to tell you.

Yeah, I read what you and I both wrote. Heat transmission is not an issue, in my application.

Hey, I’m just trying to help. I don’t think that the glue will work for you. Seems you’re hell bent on doing it your way.

Good luck, i hope it works for you.

Just a side note, I did my doghouse cover with some frost king frome home depot and did 2 layers. Just made sure everything I was putting it on was REALLY cleaned up with 90% rubbing alcohol 1st. Also did the previously shown uxcell product in the inner door panels and noticed a huge difference in road noise.-- just my 2 cents worth

Slinky, How did you get that to adhere to the doghouse? and the the first layer??

[Slinky57]

I actually put mine over the original covering. Like I said I made sure to clean the surface really well with 90% alcohol first and let it dry before adhering the frost king material. Then did the same to the frost king layer and added another layer over it. We drove it on a couple of "local" weekend trips and then took it to Tucson and back (about 3600 miles round trip) and had no issues with it coming loose and road noise was consideranly less than before. We can hear the stereo now while driving without blasting it. The sound deadener in the door panels made a big difference, too. I used the uxcell 1/2 inch stuff. The frost king and uxcell were considerably less expensive than the "high end" brands and worked well for me.
