Back in the old days of points, we would set the point by rotating the motor by pulling the ac belt, or rotating the alternator pully. Not much drag on the box stock engines.

I can turn over a race engine by twisting the alternator pulley. What is it that you plan to fix with this coating?

The first test of whether it is all worthwhile will be to put a torque
wrench on the engine without plugs or exhaust and see what it takes to
spin it. Energy not needed to turn the engine will be delivered to the
prop, or lighten the load on the starter.
