I lowered the oil pan and looked inside the timing chain area where I found the interior wall coating is peeling off. Has anybody else on these forums seen this?

What’s the purpose of the coating on an oil soaked block? How many parts are coated?

What would you do? Part of me is saying remove what I can access with the oil pan and valve cover removed and then trust the oil filter to do its job. Then inspect the oil filter religiously for a while.
