[Land-speed] Dumb Question #4388

[Dave Dahlgren]

fits about 0.0000001 to helping anything beyond the simple buff. A dry sump 
is in the .90000 area. oil shedding and control is all about crankcase 
pressue or lack of. If the paint sheds off for any reason the engine is 
toast as well the risk reward ratio is slanted too far in favor of not doing 
it in my mind. A ground surface is much more slippery than a painted on and 
the glyptol is for those that would rather paint than grind.
