Re: Engine cover sound and heat reduction

I’ve read that many times :) . Vince briefly mentions lining an engine cover on the inside and then having an upholstery shop cover the outside. I’m looking for other experiences with doing this as well as specific materials for lining.

Engine cover sound and heat reduction

Looking for advise and experience on the best materials to add to the underside and upper side of the engine cover to reduce both sound and heat. I have seen some products from Dynamat and other sound control companies, but would like to hear experience before ordering.

Thanks,

Jake

Door Gaskets

Look at past discussion of replacing door gaskets and most links are outdated. Does anyone have recent supplier of door gaskets materials?

Thanks,

Looking to change my transfer case and transmission. Sounds like several here recommend Red Line MT-90 75W90 GL-4 Gear Oil. Any other suggested products?

Re: Anyone opened rear door locking mechanism?

Thanks, that helped a bit. My mechanism was glued in with silicone and something else. Got it out only to find that the keyed lock is separate and the locking pin was gummed up so the spring wouldn’t release it. Now I just have to figure out what is in the wrong position to allow the pull knob lock ...

Anyone opened rear door locking mechanism?

I can’t get the panel off to fix the locking mechanism. Seems like something is holding it on. Any ideas? Check my video.

need suggestions for removing door lock cylinder

So after many tribulations I finally got my door open so I could dismantle it and fix the broken lock. Now I am stuck on how to get the lock cylinder out. The pictures below show the cylinder and the slim nut that holds it in. There is very little room. I tried to use some channel locks but can't ge...

WTB: Seat belt for right-most rear seat in a K model

My 712K came with just two rear seats on the left side and center. I am thinking of moving the center seat to the right, but I would like the original seat belt and mounting for the right side. If you have a K and have removed the rear seats, I'd be interested in talking about buying your seat belt.
