You know, I use glyptal on my race engine blocks, heads and bottom of
the intake manifold to help oil shedding and return to the pan. There
are several things to learn about the stuff. I learned that one single
drop can cover half an acre. If you dop a drop on the floor and happen
to step in it, it will soon be all over the house, in the shower, toilet
seat, etc. It is evil stuff. And quite frankly the glyptal I have is
not the same color as what is supposed to be on the rear end. Plus, I do
not know why they would put it on the outside as the stuff was made to
go inside transformers and such because normal paint failed in oil
filled ones. So I looked at my spare rear end and it is stock and it is
not the same color. More like a read lead primer. But whatever...
