G'day,
JimH's reply to the "transmission fluid leaking" thread got me to thinking about the Paterson engine I have to assemble when I get
back to the USA and the Caddy 500 I have here.
I did a Google search for "V-8 engine internal coatings" and found this:
http://www.hotrod.com/techarticles/engine/hrdp_0612_engine_coatings/viewall.html
Which I thought was pretty interesting.
I guess you could consider it overkill but some of the processes might help engine longevity.

Fact sheet on GLyptal indicates a temperature maximum of 275 degrees F. Might not be a good choice inside a transmission pan.

We used to send crankshafts to Miami Crankshaft back in the late 60s - early 70s for nitriding. They had a spec you ground the shaft to, and when it came back it was of the proper diameter. And harder than anything...

Probably the no. 1 thing you can do is nitride the crank Rob. The coatings
are a waste of money and, I've seen them come off and ruin an engine. They
refused to cover the cost of the rebuild afterwards.

G'day,
I ran this message up the flagpole to see who'd salute and agree with all the comments I've read.

I'm with Steve on this. If not applied properly, I too have seen the coatings come off and take out an engine. There may be a need
for it in racing engines where the need to get the oil back to the pan is crucial, but in a 3000rpm MH....no. JWIT

Hey Rob,
Count me as the outcast. My next motor will have a bunch of coated parts.

Gary,
I've noted that you dance to the beat of a different drummer quite often! ;-)
