Under Hood Liner necessary?

[Gvsukids]

It is a UPR products oil catch can in the PCV line from the back of the valve cover to the intake manifold.

I actually like the location they put it in because it gets hot enough to burn the moisture content out of the catch can and leaving just oil and keeping it out of the intake manifold and lowering the octane rating of the fuel.

Oh my, it's a catch can. That reminds me of another thread... https://www.jeepgladiatorforum.com/forum/threads/progressive-damage-failure.73258/

In my mind I was typing that they acted like a fire blanket. Anyway I asked 2 different FFs from 2 different departments and both said they’ve never been told they’re to smother an engine fire and both say they burn up and don’t smother anything. Maybe they’re made differently in different parts of the country. Or they’re just there for sound/heat insulation (to prevent paint damage).

Fiberglas is what those in my cars were made of. At least that was the feel and how they acted.

Only picture, and there's a trophy blocking the pad.

I need to go out and take a photo of the hood pad with hood open and no trophy.
That was the only photo handy at the time, which showed the hood pad in full.
Oddly, I don't take many photos of the bottom side of the hoods of my cars. I should - they are 10 point hoods.

He is just bragging and flexing with his trophy pic. Cannot blame the guy.

I don't know why more people don't take pictures of the underside of the hood and hood pad. It really should be a big page on facebook - pictures of the underside of your hood.
It's such an interesting topic.

I have come to learn there is a kink for everything. I am sure there is some degenerate twisting their nipples over hood blanket pics.

I have been running mine for about a year and a half with no hood liner since making the rubicon vent functional. I have had no issues. I can visually see the heat rising out the rubicon vents and the electric fan doesn't have to run as much while offroading.

How did you vent?

How did you vent?

I took out the Rubicon vents and took a Dremel to them. I cut out the bottom of the rain trays all the way around the vent making them functional.

Thanks! If it is not too much trouble would you send a picture? [email protected]
