Mark,
As you may know glyptol is one of the older electrical insulation materials
(paint). The wires in generators are most likely covered with glyptol. I
think I recall seeing some oil filled capacitors. The biggest problem I have
experienced with glyptol in other applications is that it likes to flake off
of the parts. Glyptol flakes floating around in the oil systems does not seem
like a good thing. That is assuming that you can get the inside of the block
clean enough for the glyptol to adhere.
My 2 cents
