For racing or sport engine that are disassembled on a regular basis it is fine.
The product is basically the same consistency as Curil T and should only be used in similar applications.
In the case of weeping chain box gaskets that had 574 thinly applied a simple retorque may cure your weeping issues.

As usual, Henry, thanks for the expert advice. I'm inclined to agree about the use of Hylomar for actually sealing an engine case...probably a non-issue for a serious race engine with regular tear downs. I dunno, I don't have enough experience, so what the hell do I know? Sealing the case was something I just couldn't roll the dice on.
