- Back in the 70's the rage was to paint the engine internal valleys and cavities with Rustoleum Damp Proof Red Primer. I had an engine which I did this way and the paint was still intact for 30 yrs. I

- I've never done it unless the block had some rust in the valley I couldn't remove. Some of those blocks even set records.

- Try Glyptal G3415, a light grey enamel. Many engine builders swear by it. It has high heat resistance, high oil resistance as well as good insulating properties. John Thornton

- Yup, Glyptol. Lifter Valley, crankcase, front timing area on block.Glyptol is slick and promotes oil drainback really well, and as Ed says, will last until the sun goes out. Reasonably messy one sing

- Thanks for the good advice. What is a typical Reynolds number for engine oil flow? Are we talking 1000 or 2000? And I realize that with a larger passage diameter (area) results a lower Reynolds numb

- HRM has an article on coatings that seems to support what you are saying. The only coatings that made worthwhile HP improvements were the ones having to do with heat, not oil- shedding. Regards, Nei

- I would think that shedding heat and controlling foam are the most important items for the oiling system to accomplish. So then you are both right, in a sense, keep the engine together and more HP w

- True in theory but the HRM tests didn't show any significant BHP improvement with oil- shedding coatings. As Dave will probably say-- go dry sump for significant BHP gains. Regards, Neil Tucson, AZ
