Lifter galley paint
Captainkirk heres some cleaning up on a small block. It still needs to come apart for tanking, cleaning, and machining. You can see the cleaned up lifter valley return hole. Note pic 5. I did all of them the same way. Also clean up the casting parting lines to reduce stress risers. Use the same type of carbide burrs you would use for head porting. I would be leery about painting the lifter valley, and it peeling out and plugging your oil filter when running down the road.
