    multicab pickup po sasakyan ko, kahit naka aircon, aftr about 20mins umiinit na po yong bandang ilalim ng upoan. kasi po the engine is placed underneath the front seats(wala naman po ibang seats eh. heheh).
    can you recommend something like a thermal insulation thing na pwde ko ilagay sa may engine area o di kaya kahit sa ilalim na lng ng upoan mismo? pwde kaya yong mga heatshield na pang-hood ng auto? salamat po.

    Thermal insulation is usually sold in rolls at the mall hardware (e.g. ACE, True Value).

    Based on my experience with the Besta, underseat insulation is only part of the equation. You also need a good seal between the engine cover and vehicle body kasi malakas sumingaw ang heat sa edges ng engine cover. Kailangan may rubber weatherstrip talaga. Meron naman yung Kia, kaya lang may mga areas pa din na nakakalusot.

    ive tried using those thermal insulation from ACE, parang walang nangyari eh. baka pang roofing lng talaga yon.
    otep, rubber weather strip ba tawag nung edging ng underseat? meron nun sa seats ko pero parang di masayado nagse-seal. saan kayo yon pwdeng bilhin?
    blueblimmer, stick-on ba kadalasan heatshield na panghood? ive seen one but i dont know kung may adhesive na yon.

    yep stick on sya. cut mo lng to the shape that u want, then remove backing lng. sticks very well too! bought one before. cover nya is picture of a girl behind a white mazda 323. more or less P600 lng.

    gaano kalaki ba yan lalagyan mo ng insulation? i have here on the oil rig either fiberglass wool insulation (good up to 750 deg F) or ceramic wool insulation (up to 2000 deg F). yung ceramic wool ang recommend ko, we use it to insulate engine exhaust pipes. it is 1 inch thick. if the area is not so big i can cut it for you, put it in my bag and you can get it from me when i go home next month. FREE. wag mo na lang ask paano mo ikakabit coz i dunno how you plan to do it. maybe just put it on top of the metal cover of the engine bay or somehow install it underneath, pero diskarte mo na yun.
