My valve cover and oil pan are now insulated. I am performing engine cool down tests now to see if it helps keep more heat in over time. One thing that was immediately noticeable was the lower engine noise. If nothing else is gained, the lower noise is good enough

Thanks to the OP for the idea and material useage!
