well, before anyone puts too much effort into what this is, here is the scoop I just learned.

By preventing oil from dripping on the cam, and thus down to the crankshaft, you save power and you preserve what the windage tray in the pan is supposed to achieve. You do not want the crank coated with oil.

I was told to leave this in the engine, and there is no need to remove it. I hope those that have never seen this before enjoyed it.

Engine is a ~468 (learned that today).
