ENSONIQ5:
Could I suggest you draw a picture of what you want (MS Paint or pen, paper & scanner) and post that.  It is difficult to know what you are trying to achieve.

First you go to a view showing the back of the engines.  Now select the main faces on the back of the engine.  If there are multiple faces you want to go in, select them and go "edit>merge faces" or press "shift + m".  Next use the inset tool.  To use it, just click and drag with faces selected.  You'll see the effect it has as you drag.  Inset the amount you want.  Now, with the faces still selected use the group extrude tool.  You can see the effect when you click and drag from a side view of the engines, preferably in wireframe mode.  You can then use edge reinforcement if you wish: Tutorial on edge reinforcement
