Today I removed the engine and instrument module in my airplane in preparation
for painting the fuselage. It was actually quite easy to do albeit, like
everything,
it did involve some work.
Although I was tempted to remove the firewall and insulated, I looked at it and
honestly don't want to remove it. Too much work and I had enough of
disassembling
stuff. So if I am going to apply sound insulation it will have to be on the
engine side.
One thing I could consider is to try the lord mounts since the engine is off so
it would be easy to try.
I also think that our firewall could be a good source of noise since that thing
is a nice drum and could use some sound proofing.
But I also agree with John that the engine mount, being attached to the wheel
well,
probably acts as a resonator and transmits a good deal of noise to the interior.
