[AT] DC Case

[john hall]

OK, you guys have me convinced. I'm going to use black silicone on this 
since it will take so much--back half of the engine/pan, four handholes and 
the strainer cap. This is one of those things I don't care if it ever leaks 
and have no intention of ever painting. I like the thought of the Loctite 
not getting in oil passages. Seen that happen before in a hydraulic system 
on a milling machine--took about 3 days to find the problem!
