Engine is out for a rebuild, builder gave me a short list of things I can do in the meantime. One being engine bay sound pad is not secured very well in "certain areas". Which is true. So two things...the relay board cover is a real b@&ch to get off....what is the stud above it for?

Where did that pad come from? I'll be pulling my engine soon and my pad has already fallen off so I removed it.

I would recommend finding a pad made with closed-cell foam or other non-absorbent materials, so it can't hold water against the firewall.
