There is way too much sealant used on this case and in places it doesn't belong. It needs to be kept away from the oil relief areas and o-rings. There should be no sealant "inside" of the O-ring on the number 8 main bearing. You want oil inside of the O-ring to be able to get back into the case not be trapped trying to get out past the O-ring. Also there is sealant in areas that are oil galleries, this can break loose and clog up the engine.
Many more engines have been ruined by too much sealant than have leaked due to too little. All you need is a small bead around the perimeter or a thin coat of 574 if you use that. Keep it away from the oil galleries and relief areas.
