**********************************
Painting of anything *inside* the engine is not a good idea. If anything
should not adhere well and start to flake or chip off then it goes straight
into the oil - potentially dangerous. About the only thing that I know of
that was used inside engines (way back when) was something called
"Glyptal(?)" that was sometimes applied to the lifter area to aid in oil
drainage - but it was specifically designed to be used this way
