John Walker is right, as usual. We are using 574 Loctite to seal case halves on construction transmissions, we build roughly 100 of them every day. During my manufacturing engineering times I did a ton of tests with it and I highly doubt that there was not enough 574 which caused the leak. If it comes out of the seam you used too much is what we go by, mainly not to clog up test bench filters, point is it just needs to fill the gap. The stuff is absolutely great and will last BUT you must be quick, as mentioned by others, if the halves are together it starts to cure, when it starts to crystalize it is too late and if you then torque the bolts you will get a leak. I built a few 3.2's and used 574 and other sealants just to see what works best. It will all work if the prep is done right is my opinion.
