It looks like your motor may have an oil port directly to the bearing(s) in the oil can picture. If that is a plug on top, (one on each end) then that is what they’re for. May be metal or rubber. Newer motors have factory sealed bearings with no oil ports. Love the insulation job! Anything to squeeze a few more btus will help. I supplement with a small dehumidifier. It allows the ac to do more sensible heat reduction.
Anyone have experience doing this mod with something other than reflectix? The bubble wrap material seems a little flimsy to me and the R values, from what I've read are more like R-1 than R-5. The overall concept here seems to be a winner. Would like a more robust material with a better or at least consistent R- value. I'm leaning to Frost-King Aluminized duct wrap, self adhesive, R-3 on the air handler housing. The cost is comparable
Anything much thicker than the Relectix will give you trouble putting the cover back on.
