Some consolidation that will be edited to the first post later:

For many years we used 574 Loctite but now ( for the last 4 years) we use ThreeBond 1104 and 1211 for perimeter sealing on the case ( 1211 on # 8 main bearing) Where the case joins at the through bolts we use 574. For the the cam towers we use 1104 and where there are gaskets we use a very thin coat (very thin mind you) of 574. On the cylinder base gaskets we use Curil T. Four glues equal no leaks. Over kill ? MAYBE No leaks GUARANTEED.

O-ringing the case spigot seems to be the best repair. We have been using ThreeBond 1211 on 3.6 cylinders bases when it is not possible the o-ring the case spigot.
It has worked well and would recommend this process if o-ringing is not an option.

The best thing I can say to guarantee your success is get your cases as clean as possible. CLEAN CLEAN CLEAN CLEAN CLEAN
We use MEK and a stainless tooth brush to clean all sealing surfaces, but be careful, MEK is poison and it will make you sick if you get it on your hands or breath it. Please!! Use gloves and a mask.

a thick layer of 574 often ends up being a thick layer between the case halves. get all the tools ready and all the orings on the studs and don't waste any time. tighten the perimeter nuts first and then the mains. with other sealers, i would normally tighten the mains first, but the anaerobic quality of the 574 is tricky and may set up faster than you think when case halves are assembled. yes, the 730/731 product does skin over quickly, and has a tendency to not stick as well to the half it wasn't applied to. if you ever split a case in the future you will see what i mean.
