I appreciate it!
Just ordered some heat shielding material to re-enforce that area.
I snugged the bolts on the valve covers..probably going have to replace the gaskets. I learned from a previous thread that the upper intake manifold will have to come out to get to both of them. That's going to be the next project.

I would wipe up the leaked oil. The remaining film will prevent rust.

FWIW, I was under my 86 302 yesterday, I noticed there are no heat shields under the exhaust manifolds... But mine is EFI so no heat duct needed for the air cleaner.

Have we established it is the exhaust heat stove for the intake? Just making sure we are all on the same page. If those holes are where it mounts, and you can actually get the bolts out of the manifold, I think I would weld fender washers to the stove and bolt it back in place after a little high temp silver paint.

Y'all are right. It is the heat stove. That's a relief
Snugged the valve cover bolts down - that seems to have done the trick. Wiped the oil off too..that truck is well lubricated
I appreciate the help!
