All right I got the powdercoating out of the flywheel side of the case, not an easy task. I don't have a blasting cabinet yet, and didn't want to wait so I used a wire wheel on a Dremel, and sandpaper, flap wheels, and elbow grease.
The PTO side was in good shape, with just a touch of flaking near the cylinder flange. I got all the loose stuff off and buffed it up a bit with some rouge.
In the after pic I wanted to show some of my high-tech tools: My seal puller, and a block-off plate I use for vacuum testing.

I had the same problem on a Stihl I rebuilt. I removed all the paint I could with a wire wheel plus a little scraping. When done I left it bare. No problems so far. Definitely safer than the trial and error process with unknown paints.

porus doesn't mean it has holes through it, it will absorb liquid to an extent but not let it through...

Use some PRC sealant thinned out with MEK.it works wonders and is fuel/oil resistant. Commonly used in the aviation industry.

I understood your meaning, but Ron's stuff cracks me up...
I would have liked to recoat it with something, but not being sure it would hold up over time is the reason I decided to leave it bare. (Picture the carb not seating in the future and the crankcase standing for a month with fuel in it). I've used the POR system on a few cars that I helped restore, it is truly a great product.
