Lifter galley paint

For a street engine I never bothered. Clean up the galley (and heads, for that matter) of casting flash and make sure the drainback holes are wide open and clear of slag and flash. Do some smoothing if it makes you feel better. Paint won't add that much to draining back, and if prep isn't perfect you run the risk of peeling over time- there was just a thread about that in the last few days...
Some may disagree, but I'm talking a street engine, not a track-only build.
