[AT] DC Case

[k7jdj at aol.com]

Jphn,

I would not use silicon!  Use the product that is sold as a gasket 
maker.  It is much better product than silicon.
You will spend more money though.  In my experience silicon will 
leak-it doesn't bond like the gasket makers.  Pay attention to surface 
preparation.  Mostly just be sure there is no oil etc.

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!
