I forgot to mention that working on a old Wisconsin Air Cooled engine prompted my question.
My dear father bought a Bolins Handy Man Garden tractor back in 1962. I still use the tractor. Two years ago the rear main seal went out. In the process of replacing it, I noticed the whole inside of the case was painted with something that looked very much like iron oxide primer. The paint was intact except where it had been machined off for shafts etc. Since the case is cast iron I suspect the painting was to prevent particle of sand from coming loose and getting in the oil. It probably was a special paint or at least specially cured. But it sure held up well. I plan to try the phosphate idea that was suggested.
Once again thank you for your great help.

That's Glyptol and it's there for what you thought. It was actually developed by GE for insulating and sealing electric motor windings.

It was used due to porosity of the cast iron. Paint peeling off the outside due to oil permeation on the underside was not a desired effect.
