Just sealed my case and this thread was absolutely golden for me. To add my .02c I used the following:

Threebond 1194 on the case perimeter applied to the left non-stud half
Threebond 1121 on the #8
Loctite 574 in the bearing saddles
Permatex Black with green viton o-rings for the case thru bolts
Threebond 1121 on the intermediate shaft cover o-ring
Loctite 574 on the paper gasket under the oil breather
30 Weight oil on the o-rings for the oil pump, thermostat, and distributor
Dry install of the flywheel seal and the crank pulley seal
JB Weld 50/50 mix on the dowel pin/plug locations

Thanks to everyone who contributed to this thread and especially Henry!
