The valve cover does not get hot enough to damage the fiberglass. The only damage you can get by being too close would be chaffing. If it were a gasser it may be another story but your Saito valve cover should never see more then 150-175 degrees. Epoxy/fiberglass layups are commonly cured at a higher temp then that.
