I believe it is a type of silocone.

Only problem with painting the inside is that it will retain heat and if you dont clean it right, it will flake off!

When I worked at Clay Smith I did this all day sometimes. We just used A rust-o-leum type of paint.

It's glyptal, it's for electric motors. remember to debur your oil drain back holes first, right Nordie?

The original paint that has been used for block and head was a paint called gliptall spelled wrong been long time you could buy this from Granger I now use insulating EPOXY coating thermal rated class F flexible, resilient finish this EPOXY is fast drying
has excellent moisture, oil alkali, and chemical resistance Leaves a flexible finish this is what is used on Electoral motor windings , The reason I use it is to seal any un seen particle left from clean or pyre cleaning down glass bead mag check etc the first coat seals the rust and any thing not cleaned between block or head surface, The second coat is used after machine work has been (cleaned ), to seal any left particles then a third coat is used before,
final assemble your heads have this done to them all my heads are cleaned and painted three times , This Epoxy is used on field coils, exposed metal, windings, taped coils frayed insulation,pitted motor winding, bus bars, collector rings, transformers armatures, and commutator ends, recommended for extreme moisture and oils, I use this on all my heads and block coast over $ 6.00 per can No Rust, helps oil drain down to helps to stop
slug in heads to build up . and rust from ex reversion

Will look tomorrow for a can if not will have my son bring some up from Riverside dont worry about heat you have the biggest radiator in the world and you need heat to make horse power , 180=200 temp is fine and most jet don't get 150 temp cold and they make condensation like fast no heat to dry motor out. There like a big water bucket ready to rust :banghead:
