I want to know if GM painted them intentionally... or sloppy employee with a spray gun.
I dont think quick oil return was the idea for painting them. Maybe keep sand and loose cast iron in place. Or maybe it was to keep the inside of the case from rusting in case of water infiltration. Or .....maybe....the foreman's son with no skills needed a job.
