Gerard,
painting the inside of the block is highly recommended if you use the right kind
of paint.
All kinds of detritis is left after machining. Stuff too small to clean off and
it clings to the rough casting. A good paint will seal it in as well as give a
good draining surface.
I use Bondaprimer in all my engines as do a lot of very respected engine
builders
here in the UK.
