I haven't used Glyptal in any of my overhauls, mostly because of the price. Lots of GOOD engine builders do and I think that it is a good thing.
I remember when I use to subscribe to the Performance Automotive Wholesale catalog, they advertised that they used red Rustoleum inside their engines.
If I used either of the enamels inside an engine, my main concern would be getting the block PERFECTLY CLEAN before application. You sure wouldn't ever want it to flake off and stop up the oil pump screen or oil passages. If you think about it, you would NEVER want to put paint in the combustion chambers of the head. The paint would burn off and the residue couldn't be good for the valves or anything else.
