I think it's a waste of time and a perfectly good paint brush. It does look cool in the magazines.
I would disagree on this. It does much more than just look cool...lol.
And I'd like to add Mine has been on there 15 years. After the block was clean. I washed it with laquer thinner, then hit it with Brake Kleen just before I brushed 3 coats on, top to bottom.
I find it easier to notice any little bit of debris. Fine metal particles, valve train parts, etc.
If there is dirt anywhere it can be wiped out with a paper shop towel, in one piece
Hope I never have to find out but I think you might be able to find a crack, should one appear
And...... It Aids Oil Drain Back! New motor technology starts with race motor technology. My 1969 block from an Imperial was never meant to push 650HP @ 7,200 RPM with a tall rotor Milodon pump. I'll take my oil to the pan as soon as I can get it there while keeping it off the rotating assembly.
I know I'm missing something, it's been so long since I've touched the Barracuda
