I'm not sure which product each of you are talking about but the one I learned
to use many years ago was General Electric "Glyptal" red insulating enamel.
This paint/coating was made for generators and electric motors for it's
insulating characteristics and its being impervious to oil penatration. It also
had the ablity to be cleaned with very strong solvents with out breaking
down..Today, with the new laws, this may not be the same.
When I coat the inside of a motor I will only use the GE product and not a
substitute. I learned this after working on large power generators and motors
up to 13,800 volts since 1967. I would not use a substitute. The block must be
clean and dry. A degreaser and soap and water prior to paint. spraying it down
with laquear thinner would be the best. After using it in a nitro motor I
found some evidence of it in the Systems 1 filter (very minor). I would blame
this my prep. The engine had once used a synthetic oil....Really tough to get
that and teflon products out of cast iron.
Good Luck
