Which case half to apply sealant to, my lesson learned. I applied sealant to the 1,2,3 side (fewer studs in the way). While maneuvering the case half to install, my gloved hand grabbed the seam with sealant down by the oil pump. Did I take too much off? Nobody would know, because I foolishly pressed on and sealed the case without stopping and looking at the 574 spread.
As such, I’m going to redo now. So had I used the 4,5,6 side for laying down the case sealer (as I will in my redo) , this was unlikely to happen. If I was younger and did not have a tweaked thumb, I probably could have avoided the inadvertent gloved wipe of my seam. And with more experience, I could have stopped and looked the spread over too. Oh well ... whining does little good
As such, I wonder what to with the thin layer of three bond 1211 I spread in the saddle of number eight. I won’t touch the 4,5,6 side, guess I might put another thin coat on top of the other one?
Or should the 1211 three bond be removed and fresh applied?
