Insulating the engine bay

[markusfmeyer]

Tape is for the seams between the pieces/sheets of insulation. Standoffs are so that anything you reattach "stands off" from the metal by the thickness of the insulation, otherwise it would compress it which isn't desirable. I poked holes and then cut pieces of leftover PEX tubing into 1" long pieces, popped it in the hole I made, then put a screw with large washer in that spot to help keep the insulation in place. This is a job I don't want to have to do again, so it was just an additional way to secure the stuff in place. In addition, there may be some wiring or hoses or whatever bolted to the ceiling or walls and again, you don't want the screws to compress the insulation.
