I've decided to use Threebond 1211 on my #8 nose bearing during assembly and wanted to verify where to put it exactly - on both halves @ the case bearing web all around? Is it better to try NOT to get it on the o-ring or OK to get it on the o-ring? Is it OK if it get's in/near the oil supply hole in the case & in the bearing itself? Super thin coat so as not to mess w/tolerances as much as possible...?

Just want to be clear so I have the best chance for success.

Also, I'm assuming that doing this slightly amends the assembly procedure and timing as the crank has to be OUT of the case in order to apply the 1211 in the nose bearing area, THEN the crank goes in the case, THEN you apply the perimeter & main bearing web sealant, THEN you mate the case halves... All of which adds an extra step or 2 during the scramble to mate the case halves before the sealant goes off - is that correct?

Thanks so much,

Tom
