[QUOTE="greg brillus, post: 96981, member: 597"] Hi there Eugene, I did have a 48 Rapide here that I restored that came from the States that had that coating inside the cases. It had signs of previous corrosion, so might have been to stop oil loss, although it wasn't that bad. I have seen it used inside V8 engine blocks and done to help the oil return to the sump quicker. It is not something I would normally use. On engines that have suffered say a primary housing blow out and weld repair I use a special 3M product which is a type of metal putty, two part like Araldite and quite fluid, it will almost run but only after some time. I position the case so it does not "Pool" too much and once it sets fully after 24 hours it would stop almost any leakage. This can be quite an issue if an engine has had a significant repair like that, as there is only so much you can weld up, and the cases are quite porous as it is, especially once you start welding.
