Back in the days before modern "better living through chemistry"
sealers, they used to use a piece of silk thread to seal the case halves
on aviation engines.  But there are better alternatives now.


The best one I have found...or to be more precise was put on to by a
friend & VW mechanic is Curil K2.
Case halves,tappet covers,fuel pumps...whatever.Never hardens,easy to
scrape away and works exceptionally
well....smells great too ;)
