Product Overview:

Description

Multi-Purpose Glyptal® Red Enamel seals uneven surfaces in engine castings to improve oil circulation

  • Acid- and oil-resistant
  • Also resists moisture, heat dust, salt spray
  • Anti-corrosion protection

Glyptal 1201 seals the rough interior castings of engine blocks to help prevent engine damage. Sealing the tiny pores left in metal after bead blasting leaves the engine block interior smooth and clean, and that helps keep oil clean and flowing freely.

Safety Information

Always use in a well-ventilated area, and always wear eye, skin and respiratory protection.

Application Tips

Glyptal is used to seal the internal surfaces of the engine block for fastest oil return to the sump. Make sure the surface is absolutely FREE OF GREASE OR OIL! Our Metal Wash concentrate (10120) or PRE Painting Prep (10041 Z) with the Engine Brush Kit (46035) does a great job of cleaning the engine block. Be careful to avoid getting paint on machined surfaces or in oil passage ways. Can be thinned with Xylol or Xylene.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Good paint This paint is fantastic but very hard to find, I’m glad Eastwood stocks it other companies websites that stock Glyptal aren’t near as user friendly

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Glyptal and Eastwood One can lasts for years unless your a professional engine builder, but if I am building a motor that has never run, I would not build it without Glyptal. If you take the time to measure the difference between with and without, you would never question it again, and Eastwood said 7 to 10 days delivery, I had it in 4

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Better application technique is to dab it on. Very much as advertized. Flows well, does dry surprisingly fast. Will run if applied heavy, and i find the best brush technique is to use a round small craft brush and dab it on rather than brush it on. Leaves no brush marks and flows out well when dabbed on.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Glyptal Red I used Glyptal to seal my porous and leaking magnesium rims. It seemed to work well in this application. Glyptal recommended it and Eastwood to purchase it from.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Awesome It is just the same as when I initially used it back in the 70's.....awesome.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from As Expected Product was intended for coating interior engine cases and oil bag on a Harley restoration I'm doing. Oil bag interior was rusted pretty bad so I cut the pinch weld off on top to gain access then media blasted interior and applied two coats of Glyptal. After coating I allowed it to cure in 100+ heat for a week then filled with water and welded top back on, water dissipates heat preventing paint burn and provides leak checks being a low pressure system. I knew the product would do the job without question. Being fairly new to the Eastwood company I was pleasantly surprised at how fast my order was filled and delivered in excellent condition. I will definitely be doing business with them again in the future.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Awesome! This stuff worked exactly like I was told, I was able to coat the entire inside of my engine block, with plenty left over, it's self leveling, and makes the rough casting smooth as glass
Date published: 2017-12-29
Rated 5 out of 5 by from Only product of its kind and an excellent one I have used 1201 since the early 70's to coat the inside of racing engines. Like many others reviewing this product, it is easy to apply dries quickly and provides and excellent finish to seal cast surfaces and promotes oil drainage. It has insulating qualities as well. Impervious to oil and gas. Another user said Nitro doesn't affect it either. Clean up with acetone before curing is pretty easy as well as cleaning the paint brush. I am still using the same brush I used nearly 50 years ago on my current 383 chevy. Great product, it is a bargain at its price. A quart will treat scores of engine blocks.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from This an awesome product I am building a high performance Chevy smallblock for a restoration project and I've always wanted to paint the internals of a engine with Glyptal, Even though I've built a few engines over the years I never had access to this product (Thank You Eastwood) After using it I wish I had done so many years ago it goes on very easy dries quickly and cures into a great looking surface I wish I could show it off but I'll just have to be happy with photos

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Painted the inside of cast oil I have a cast Cobra oil pan and over the years the Aluminum has become porous. I glass beaded the pan first and then painted it with Glyptal in 2 coats. I have had it on the car for 3 weeks now and it appears to keep the oil from seeping into the pours of the pan. I would recommend it to anyone who rebuilds engines, transmissions, and rear ends to use this product. It is easy to work with and cleans up fast and easy and leaves a tuff finish.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Great product This paint is excellent as an insulator and also for filling irregularities in metal. it also is excellent for inside of motors.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Easy to Use I am refurbishing a 2005 Jinma Tractor. The Chinese engines are painted inside with a similar product. I wanted a fuel - oil resistant product to paint some external components as well as to renew the material on the inside of the castings. It is so much fun to paint it on that my wife took over for me. It goes along way, we transferred some to a 1 cup glass jar to paint out of so we could keep the can sealed and clean. Drys fast! Very happy with it so far. If you want a super even coat you should probably spray it. Cleans up with acetone. Jim B

Rated 4 out of 5 by from Glyptal paint is a non conductor of electricity. Edison invented it. What I usually use it for is the inside of iron blocks that run on Nitro. The Nitro doesn't have an effect on it like other paints do I used this paint on a rotory table that goes on my mill. This will keep the oil from leeking from the inside out.
Date published: 2013-09-19
Rated 4 out of 5 by from magnificent I have used this stuff for years on everything that has an oil product in it! from Race motors to rear end differentials,to Air compressor pumps and tanks.. you cannot beat this stuff if you want it sealed up for slick for oil returns,and cleaner oil too.

Rated 4 out of 5 by from Glyptal Glyptal has bee my choice for coating internal surfaces for years. It allows the rough interior casting surfaces to smooth out and allows lubrication to return to it's sump without "clogging" or building up as can be seen when re-building components. It applies easily and a quart goes a long way. IT IS PRICEY, if you can afford it I wolud reccommend it's useage.

Rated 4 out of 5 by from Probably not made for this, but...... A fellow tech here has used this product to eliminate the high-frequency "singing" from the high voltage transformers in LCD display backlight circuits. He just brushes it on and lets it soak in overnight. Are you listening, Samsung? JR decided not to publish this one because this is not an approved application

Rated 4 out of 5 by from Excellent product & easy to use The product is a very good product. It is very easy to use & Eastwood is very helpful with information & tips to make your project come out perfect & without a hitch. Tim

Rated 4 out of 5 by from Glyptal Experience If you have ever opened a motor and seen the inside of the block treated with Glyptal you would understand how great it is. The surfaces are smooth and clean This is a product, like primers, that you rarely see after they are used. However if you like fine detail and clean motor internals you cannot beat it. I use it to finish the internal components of my Maytag motor restorations as well, just simply great.

Rated 3 out of 5 by from Glyptal is Great but Eastwood's Packers Suck The Glyptal product is fantastic as always, but your packaging department TRULY dropped the ball when putting my order together. Both cans arrived completely damaged -- of course on the lid end! -- and were so mangled they wouldn't even open. I requested a replacement which is apparently on the way now but has yet to arrive. Hopefully next time they'll be more appropriately cushioned in the box but I'm not holding my breath.

Rated 3 out of 5 by from Expensive but unique I used this to coat the inside of a transfer case I was rebuilding for my truck to prevent seepage of the lubricants through the case. The stuff is very expensive but a quart goes a very long way. I used less than 1/4 to do the whole case, and I could find no other product that does what Glyptal does. Make sure you have good ventilation and the use of a cartridge-type respirator doesn't hurt. The fumes from this stuff are VERY strong. It begins to dry quickly and is difficult to clean up, so good prep and disposable brushes are a good idea. Also be careful where you apply it, it sets up very hard and is difficult to remove in areas where the thickness could cause fitment or clearance issues. I can't speak to it's performance as I have not put the part back into service but it came well recommended.

Questions & Answers

Can Glyptal be used on the interior of an oil pan

Asked by: Tony
No, it should be used on rough cast interior areas of engine castings only. Inside of the engine block, value area of the heads, etc..
Answered by: Sonya
Date published: 2021-02-25

Is there a specific time between coats & after the second coat? When can the parts be assembled & have oil contact? Basically when is it fully cure? What are my options for getting curing?

Asked by: Oscar
Glyptal 1201 Red enamel only requires one coat of paint in most applications. Should you desire a second coat allow 30 minutes drying time between coats. At temps above 70 degrees F, allow 24 hours for curing before assembly and oil introduction.

Can this be used on the inside of a 4 cylinder motorcycle aluminum crankcase/transmission?

Asked by: Jeff60
Yes you can use the Glyptal to the inside of cycle crancase/transimission. The key to this will be all in the prep. The inside "MUST" be free of any oil, Clean thoroughly with Acetone several times. The inside must be scuffed up as well.

We applied the red glyptal 1201 to the inside of cast iron manifolds and it's now peeling away. What solvent can we use to remove the coating? These parts are in hydraulic service so any paint debris can foul a system. We didn't subject them to temps 250F

Asked by: Craig
Lacquer thinner or brake kleen should remove this coating.

Can a second coat of Glyptal be applied after baking the first coat?

Asked by: Butch
If a second coat is desired after baking the first it is crucial that you scuff the entire surface to ensure a mechanical bond.
Answered by: Scott C

Other than being free of grease and oil, how must the surface be prepped? Can light rust be covered? If rust must be removed, can a material like Eastwood Fast Etch be used? If so what must be done after the Fast Etch is applied?

Asked by: Super A
We recommend removing all the surface rust. Fast etch is a great option and would only require a quick wipe down with our Pre after you are done.
