glyptal 1201
me and my dad are rebuilding a original 454 ls6 for his 68. my dad is toying around the idea of using glyptal 1201 to paint the inside of the engine to help prevent rust on the inside of the motor since it will be sitting for long periods of time. i know this is pretty old school tech and really isnt very popular at all anymore. if anyone has used this stuff or knows anyone that has nows a good time to chime in.

I remember it being used in lifter valleys, head surfaces, and timing areas for oil drainback, not for rust prevention.
What were you planning on painting with it? And why aren't you going to run it for long periods of time? Are you talking years?

that is the main benefit for using it. but since the engine will sitting alot the enamel will seal it and prevent rusting which is always a good thing.
this car will most likely be handed down to me so i kinda want the engine to last. but ive read some things abt the enamel chipping over time and gunking up the bearings and blahblahblah
the painting will be done with a brush, not aerosol can

If it rusts on the inside you are storing it wrong, IMO. It's not original so why not run it to cycle the fluids, remove moisture, give the valve springs a break, etc?
Gonna put in DOT5 brake fluid too?

i think it matters not. don't worry about it. if your lifter valley rusts you have bigger issues.

Wait.
Original to what? That ain't the original engine to a '68 anything. If all you have is an LS-6 block, sell it to a Chevelle guy and use the $$$ to build another engine.
