[FOT] LA Sleeve coatings

["BOB KRAMER" <rkramer3@austin.rr.com>]

I got a new set of liners from BFE and the wrapper says they are weather
protected. It appears to be some sort of clear sprayed on. A soaking in the
parts washer didn't take it off so I tried carb cleaner and a wire brush to no
avail. Its tough stuff so now I'm wondering if it is intended to stay on. The
top edge of the liner shows an orange peel effect which can't be good for head
gasket sealing. Any ideas?
