Tricky, indeed.
Although we haven't use 574 on case halves or cam towers for decades, we do find it handt on things like threaded fittings. It also makes a nice security sealant for gaskets that are permanent in nature. A very thin coat on paper gaskets like chain boxes and cam joint rings.
When you say tricky, you're not kidding. We use it to add shear resistance to the case main webs in mag case motors but highly discourage that application if you are the least bit hesitant. The shear strength is worth the risk if you know what you're doing.
