I decide to pull my engine, mostly because when the factory built, they didn't finish off under the motor, it's just raw glass. Can't reach to clean under engine, and my one complaint is the motor is open on the back side so it's a noisy beast, especially when motoring for few hours. So while I have the motor out, I'm going thru everything repainting, new mounts ect.
So the real The question
If I add in across the back of my engine compartment with wood and some insulation around motor, I suspect it will make a big impact on noise, but damn it's going to make it hard to get at anything, there's no extra, just changing the filter is nut's.
if I just enclose the back of motor and don't install insulation, am I going to be sorry I didn't go the whole way and put in the insulation? if I just do ceiling and back wall with insulation is it worth the time?
Currently the fuel filter is in motor compartment, can I mount in compartment next to fuel tank 10' away from motor?
If anyone has any extra heat please send our way, 5 deg f. highs not good!
