574 will only cure in the absence of air under compression. It will not cure under any other circumstance. Any material that gets into the oil through holes or on the bearing surface will be washed away upon start up. As a kid (17 - 28 years old) I was a factory trained Honda mechanic. The cases of most Honda motorcycles are assembled much the same way as a 911 right down to the plain bearings. Honda was emphatic about using case sealant on ALL mating surfaces in order to maintain a square case once torqued. It would not surprise me if the cases of the Honda were machined more accurately than our 911 cases and this detail was more critical. They were made like a Swiss watch.
I value the opinion of Henry Schmidt. While I might take exception to his demeanor, all the while with a smile on my face, I have come to realize that people are who they are no matter what the rest of us might think. I prefer not to shoot myself in the foot by pissing off one of the true "experts" on this site and would sorely miss his input if he just checked out (very unlikely).
One last thought, people pay me to tell them how to do things in my industry; I am an expert there. Henry offers his expertise for free. Nuff said.
