    Your block had clear on it? I know the head cover is cleared, but didn't realize the finned parts were.

      I don't know what was on the block.....some kind of paint. Here's a pic of at least part of the job...........what a pain.

        Geez... I hope that was from a PO. I scrubbed mine clean with Purple Power and then scrubbed it again with MEK. I didn't see any flaking or corrosion.... I hope it's bare. I just primed it yesterday!
