I will be sealing the case halves on my 3.6 in the next couple weeks as well, so this thread has perfect timing.

Here are some quotes from Henry's messages I saved:

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

"#8 bearing
We use the stock O-ring and Threebond 1211. We put a thin layer in both sides of the case (at the # 8 main only) and set the crank / bearing in. 1211 gives you 30 minutes to assemble but you should be ready when you drop the crank in."

"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."

"We use three products to seal our cases.
ThreeBond 1211 on the # 8 main bearing.
ThreeBond 1104 on the case perimeter cam towers.
Loctite 574 on the main webs and miss gaskets.
Curil T on the cylinder base gaskets.

On the gaskets that are prone to leaking we use a very thin coat of 574. Very thin , like a glaze."
