In the engine bay on the passenger side, there's some pipes that are protected with insulation (A/C?). I've attatched a picture. This insulation is falling apart / dissintegrating. Does anyone have a good fix for this problem or should I replace the insulation (That seems like a bit of work). I appreciate any comments or suggestions. You guys are great!

you can try regular house pipe insulation but you will have to tape it sealed, try to get an inner diameter tight as possible.

wow thats sweet! another bookmark...lol He will still have to slice it and tape it but it's probably much better than household pipe insulation.

Might be easier to slice it and zip tie it.

Yes. The fat one is low pressure, thin is high pressure. More R12 fun facts: the fittings are the same on both sides.
