Got my motor all back together and ready to put back in. I had bought some of those tar boards to replace the original ones in the engine compt. They came in today but i wasnt impressed with them at all. they were thin and flimsy. Im gonna roll with the one on the firewall for now but i left the others out. I may do something with that part at a later date.

I read somewhere that a guy used rolled roofing material and turned it around and layered it. Just a thought.
