Was there a part of the cover insulation that hung down intentionally? Perhaps between the block/valve cover and the vacuum reservoir or oil filter...Thanks for the ideas, Tom
Yes. There is a piece between the block and the vac, a piece in front of the oil dipstick, and a piece between the injection pump and the timing belt cover that hang down. See this page for a picture: http://www.myturbodiesel.com/1000q_how_to/a4/enginecoverpop.htm
Thanks CCBB, going to try to fabricate something "custom". I "found" a large sheet of 1" thick closed cell insulation used on fuel gas pipe that is heated to 400-500 F. Any recommended adhesive? Maybe mechanical fasteners...
Thanks again, Tom
