I have been working on 617 engines for 15 years+ and never saw those heat shields. I replaced a lot of the rubber air cleaner mounts. Maybe I should install some of the heat shields.
Do the heat shields go under the rubber mounts? P E H |

the rubber mounts are new
The mounts are new,
I changed them a few months ago, it is the lowest bolt that is under the air clearner frame (bracket) I can't get to the bolt to tighten, and it is visably loose

Those rubber "buffers" screw into the bracket, no nut on bottom. Hand tighten as best as you can. I'm undecided about those shields.

I always add a nut to the bottom of the rubber mounts, they tend to strip the threads in the bracket. I think he's talking about the bottom bolt that holds the bracket to the engine, sort of a PITA to get to.

Ah, that makes sense, quite the pain to get to that bolt for certain. Thread locker would make it difficult to remove again, this bracket might last another 20+ years tho. You can install a "bumper" (fender, in nautical terms) on the A/C housing, that would hold pressure against the cam cover, maybe helping the situation.
