underhood insulation
hey guys, recently a coolant hose popped, spewing out steam and saturating my underhood insulation...long story short, its ruined. my question is, does anyone know if anything will happen to the hood paint if i drive for a few days from work and back without the insulation? its only about a 15 minute drive.. thanks in advance

Re: underhood insulation
You shouldn't have any issues due to the fact that most of the insulation is for sound deadening rather than heat protection. The paint will be fine.

Re: underhood insulation
If you want to it will take some of the engine noise out of the car. I would buy a new one but if money is tight it wouldn't be a priority.

Re: underhood insulation
I wouldn't buy a "new" one. we live about 10 minutes away from Morads the best w-body recycler around. I am sure they will have one cheap.

Re: underhood insulation
Why is that? Becuase you have no facts that support your statement?

Re: underhood insulation
tblake- i think hes assuming that, considering it is insulation, it will slow the transfer of heat from the engine bay to the hood, and consequently to the air. since steel is a very good conductor, without the insulation the heat will transfer to the air outside of the engine bay faster. i agree with him. haha sorry

Re: underhood insulation
Your going to notice the noise from the engine instead of the tail,the heat from the engine and sun will probably toast the clear coat too.
