I took a bunch of pics- perhaps some of you will find it helpful to see what a relatively fresh over-sealant job looks like:
Anyway, I know I'm double-posting here, so if you're interested, see the rest in my rebuild thread.

Pictures 3, and 7, is what I always worried about...
In number 3 some of the sealant gets into the "u-channel" that drains that through case bolt... If that channel is blocked, the oil will seap through the bolt ends and on the ground...
In #7 there is an aweful lot of sealant around the hole that leads to the crank oil supply... what keeps that from flaking off and blocking the crank oil supply??? I know henry does it this way, and I used his sealing kit, but it still worries me...
