I had never seen red Glyptal internal case paint flake off like this before. I was curious how common of a problem this was for cases that still had it ?

Once it starts flaking off, I imagine your only options are to completely overhaul the engine or to completely disassemble and perform an IRAN if possible.

This particular engine had 678 hrs. since SMOH and 258 hrs. STOH when the owner started seeing "red flakes" in the oil screen.
