Way too....oooo much glue!!!!
Some photos show its drained down on the inside of the case. This will end up in the pump and could block some oil passages. If you look how much has oozed out on the outside, the same is probably on the inside.
If the parting faces are flat and lapped, you should not even need glue. But we do use glue "just in case". But all you need is a few microns thick. The glue is there to take up any minor divots etc on the parting faces. Once you bolt the two halves together, you squeeze out most of the glue, on the inside as well as the outside.
As for the glue on the bearing caps? What leaks are you trying to stop from happening there? The through bolts? This is why there are O rings on the through passages? Don't do it as its un necessary.
Advice to many here. Use the whatever glue you choose sparingly. Its about sealing off any chance of leaks. But that is done before any glue is applied. Its done in your prep before you even consider assembly the engine. Adding all this glue is a mind fake, and nothing about making sure no leaks occur.
