1955-72 Chevrolet; Intake Manifold Oil Splash Shield

Reproduction oil splash shield for DZ 302, 327, 350, and LT1 aluminum Winters intake manifold. that mounts under aluminum intake manifold with casting # 3917610, 3972110, 3932472, 3972116, 3890490, and 3844461. Manufactured in stamped steel, as originally, this splash shield is installed on the bottom of the intake to divert the heat made by the exhaust cross-over in the manifold. It will also keep the carb cooler so it does not boil the fuel in the summer months. Without the shield, the oil burns and crystallizes, creating harmful contaminants that can be sucked into the oil pump. The heat shield is a key component to protect your classic Chevy engine.
