http://www.gunnarracing.com/ uses it on the case halves.
Most of his engines are for race cars so they may be coming apart after 50 hours but he used to use it on street car motors and he says he never had oil leaks.
It is the best all around gasket sealer in my opinion. Similar to curil T but better.
Harbor Freight tools even sells it for about $5 a tube here.
I've used it on all the 911 chain case gaskets and o-rings and many other things including mechanical fuel pumps over the years. Gas doesn't touch it.
Works well on the cork oil tank sending unit gasket too.
It never hardens, always stays gooey and cleans up really easy with laquer thinner on a rag.
I've heard that Rolls Royce invented it for the P51 mustang V12 merlin engines.
Here's the stuff they sell @ harbor freight around here. It says made in UK on the back
