That all makes sense.
But one bottom-line thing that makes me question any real necessity is that the LC doesn’t get them...meaning engineers didn’t think it needed them—despite having essentially identical guts to the LX. After all...it’s LCs you see the UN driving in 120 degree desert...
I'm no heat fanatic either...but if you believe heat is a red herring, then why did you tell us you mounted your compressor in front of your radiator to avoid heat??
I'm confused... ;)
Wouldn’t call it insulation either. -Just thinking of the basic idea of further-enclosing things like compressors with the engine block’s heat means hot air ends up lingering even longer and travel farther and mingling more with components before it escapes. If people think the hood does that...
I wil never understand any good things associated with keeping even MORE heat inside the engine compartment by sealing it up even more with those excessive covers.
People talk about the folly of putting compressors in the engine bay at all for heat reason. While I personally have had no...
