Re: [xj-s] Insulation Under The Hood is Falling Apart

No they all do eventually. I hate that. Foolishly I used a tar like underbody 
coating over it to "hold it together" better when I first purchased it(not 
knowing how hot it gets). I had tar on everything for a couple weeks. It ended 
up working great though(if  youre willing to carry denatured alcohol with you 
for a couple weeks). Perhaps someone else has a better idea.

I have noticed this many times.  When I would open the hood of my car, I 
would notice brown peices teared off from the insulation undeneath the 
hood on the engine surface.  Is this normal?  I am fearing that this may 
be due to the heat of the engine (although the thermostat is reporting 
normal temperature).  Perhaps this is just a simple problem that can be 
fixed by taping the edges of the insulation to prevent further decay.
     
Any help and suggestions would be greatly appreciated,
