After you've got it all stuck together so well it won't leak, how hard is it to get it UN-stuck for the next rebuild? Are any of these "permanent" sealants?
I'm OK with the application of 'moderate' amounts of heat (after all, the engine gets hot in service...) but there's a limit to how much I want to be waving a torch around a magnesium case...

No problem disassembling. Nothing a rubber mallet and a wooden drift won't knock loose.
BTW you can unload an entire handheld propane torch on a mag case without worries. These are giant alloy heatsinks (the largest ever cast at the time, in fact), not the little shavings of magnesium you flared in high-school chem.
