7R case assembly help
 

I did a search on "case sealing" because I am within days of assembling my short block. I will order the green o-rings for the through bolts and #8 bearing. Now comes the confusion. There is no concensus on sealers. I have locktite 574 and curil T. Do I seal the perimeter with Threebond 1104 and #8 with Threebond 1211? Waynes book says one thing but there are so many others who disagree. Is there a majority who prefers a particular product since Wayne's book was printed? It is very confusing and this is the second case I have sealed in 15 years. The first leaked from day one, also a mag case and I only had Anderson's book and Porsche manuals as reference. The search revealed three pages of threads with differing advice. :confused:

Sorry for the duplicate posts we had a little computer issue here.

i follow Henry Schmidt, Chris Bennett, or 2.7Racer advices (sorry to forget the others :)...) ... these guys know almost everything on Porsche engines...

archives are your friend.

Thanks Jamie,

I read that thread along with several pages of others but that thread seems to summarize it clearly. Looks like Henry has the latest method, sealants, and the green o-rings. Will put in an order tomorrow and hope to assemble the case this weekend. The advice on this forum is great. Wish I had this in 1989 when I closed my 2.2 mag case.
