Really have enjoyed all the comments on sealant favorites, and came away with a couple of questions........sorry to drag out the thread, but then it really is a good one.

Can someone tell me more about Threebond 1104? Is it an anaerobic? On the Threebond site the ll00 series products are mostly acrylic resin based, but I couldn't actually find a 1104 listed. It isn't RTV is it? Exactly why do most of you prefer this to the Loctite 574 for the outer case flange sealant.

Recently I have been exposed to considerable hype about the new sealant being used by GM on all their aluminum engine cases. The product is GM Assembly Adhesive number 1#12346141. Apparently GM developed the stuff specifically for Aluminum cases and it is all they use. I have a tube of it here on the desk and cannot imagine how we could use it on the main case, since it instructs to apply and perform final bonding within 5 minutes. But while I don't believe I could ever achieve that with an engine case, it certainly could be useful elsewhere, chain housings and etc. I is just new to me and I wonder whether any of you have experience with it.
