The top of the engine compartment is where I concentrated my sealing efforts. I even have two removable upper grille blockers to finish the job that I only take off for long trips.

The 1500 watt number gets my transaxle into the 60's! (˚C) My goal is to get the motor there too so I can be at full operating temperature before I turn the key.

Cool that you are doing a pump install too. Can't wait for the pics.
