[QUOTE="oexing, post: 137338, member: 1493"] A liquid sealant or any other seal has to transmit forces from the crankshaft or gear shafts within the engine block , so I would not want to have anything rubberlike between case halves. You don´t want fretting in the system. So for that reason you don´t find slicone in aircraft engines, they use Loctite like 518 or 574 curing types, no thinners in these. Same types I take for cylinder base seals or other covers, no cometics for me. For cleaning you need seal removers from Loctite or paint removers at lower price , no big deal. Vic [/QUOTE]
