Good point about the choice of sealant. Looks like silk thread thickness is typically .3 - 1 mm. I wonder if the thickness would impact sealing if anaerobic sealants like Loctite 574, etc. are used.

Also, would the thickness interfere with bearing clearances? I guess the through bolts would have to squeeze a little harder to overcome the extra thickness at the case perimeter. Especially at the #1 and #8 bearings.
