I  thought that racers had discovered [Glyptal's] usefulness for race  
engines maybe 
30 years ago, for smoothing out the inside of blocks to  allow oil to flow 
back to the pan (and thus the pump)  faster...

Could be. I used to autocross an ex-GP Spitfire 4 that we "rescued" from a  
barn in 1983. It had been a regional-level SCCA race car until the mid-1970s. 
We  actually didn't have to go inside the engine until 1995, when it got new 
rings  and bearings, at which time I discovered that the inside of the engine 
block had  been painted with Glyptal. Must've been pretty good stuff way back 
when, 'cause  it still looked perfect!

Herald engine with wings.
