In theory, sealant on all the mating surfaces for the engine case halves should contain oil and prevent leaks, and (with a couple of exceptions) the design of nuts and bolts, and where they attach, was not intended to form a seal.
But many mechanics swear by applying lots of sealant to every piece of case hardware. Is this overkill? Anyone had good luck lately with just sealant on the case halves? |
