The Complete Engine Sealant Thread...

OK folks, I did some searching and was not able to really find the clear, definitive combined wisdom on sealing up the engine.

So, I am requesting it here, in the hopes that this thread will be searchable and valuable to others besides myself in the future. Since I will be sealing up my 964 derived engine next week (fingers crossed), I do have a short term vested interest

Here are the engine items that I would appreciate hearing about the most sucessful sealing methods. _Please_ add any areas that I have omitted!

Outer Case Halves: Threebond 1104

Bearing Saddle Surfaces: Loctite 574

#8 Bearing (balancer end) O-Ring: Threebond 1211

Case Thru Bolts: Dow Corning 111 on Green Viton O-Rings

Flywheel Seal: DRY

Balancer Seal: DRY

Intermediate Shaft Cover to Case: ThreeBond 1211

Oil Breather Cover to Case: ThreeBond 1211

Cylinders to Case: Curil K-2 or ThreeBond 1211

Cam Towers to Cylinder Heads: Threebond 1104

Cam Chain Housings to Case: Threebond 1104

Cam Chain Housings to Cam Towers: Threebond 1104

Cam Chain Housing Cover to Cam Chain Housing: Threebond 1104

Gaskets: Thin coat of Loctite 574
