Interesting point about the paint. Over at R.O.P. as we all know, they are all about performance. I remember reading, perhaps more than one thread, about the oiling problems of the Olds engine and how to overcome the weakness it had. One person suggested painting the internal passages of the oil return in the heads AFTER hogging them out. Of course, some people disagreed but when I read that it was totally foreign to me, had never heard of that before. I haven't done that as I have a street Olds and never top 4500 or maybe 5000 rpm so I don't worry about it. Like Kenny said, Olds knew about it and did what they could to prevent it for "STOCK" engines.
