Re: Power coating in the engine block lifter vally?

I wouldn't paint or powder coat anything inside the engine. I wouldn't bother to smooth anything out either. I just don't believe it would do anything either way. Just keep your oil changed and it will stay clean and last a long time.
On a related subject, I will never use powder coating anywhere it could just scratched or exposed to water. It tends to trap water and speed up corrosion if it get a scratch or chip in it. So absolutely no powder coat on control arms, springs, shackles etc. I've seen that many times in Oregon, where it's wet but they don't salt the roads in the winter.
