Back in the day, when working in the aviation industry, engine cse halves were sealed with a thread laid down and stuck with some king of pucky. It may have been silk or cotton. It's been a long time ago and the details are fuzzy now. But the thread, when crushed when the case nuts are torques up, seal that case better than anything. I don't know if this worka with a Vanagon case, but it might be worth looking into.
