Keeps as much cool air from getting into the engine bay as would without the block. The air not only cools the engine by going through the radiator, it also cools the engine by hitting it directly.

If the engine bay is warmer, the engine should warm up faster. If you keep as much air from going in there, the engine bay should be warmer.
