Lycoming specifies allowable sealants. They are not allowed to experiment in the aviation industry.

We can be more freewheeling. At this point I don’t think anybody would us an RTV sealant on a Porsche case. Loctite 518 probably would not respond well to a thread in it. It is a pretty thin coating.
