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...... |

I used Loctite 574 (or whichever is the orange stuff) on mine when I rebuilt the case in the late 80s. Not knowing what I was doing, I figured whatever Porsche was using would be a good choice. I remember it being spendy, but easy to apply. The engine sat sealed but unfinished for 30 years before first start and now has 6K miles with no leaks.
