Oil resisting paint for motors?

[68FBJJZ109]

I though i saw this in a mustang magizone though any one i talk to has never heard of this type of product. I though i saw a paint that is used during a motor build that you could paint in valve covers, lifter valleys ect. that resist oil build up and such. Is there a paint like this?

probably just the red glyptol paint used to help the oil drain back to the pan

I have always used just regular engine paint on the inside of my motor (lifter valley, underside of intake, inside valve covers, top of the heads, inside of the oil pan. Since the cast iron block is porious, the point is the fill in all the holes to allow the oil to flow better. I have never had a problems using just regular engine paint, granted the surface was prepped accordingly so the paint will not flake off, I recently took apart my old engine apart after 20k and the paint was still intact.
