So, I have read several posts and watched several videos to do with engine rebuilds. I am wondering what people recommend for the engine case sealant. In Jake Raby's video, he used Aviation gasket sealer, which I have used on other applications with great success.
That being said, this is my first type IV build, so I am seeking input from those who have done their own builds. I would like to know what you used, why and pros and cons. Thanks for any input...... |

It seems to have worked fine, but it has only run on an engine stand. Conventional wisdom seems to be leaning to Loctite 574. There is a really great read on Porsche Crankcase Sealant over at Klassik ATS. |
