[QUOTE="handyandy, post: 442720, member: 18942"] Do you have any knowledge of rebuilding engines to start with? Do not use silicon to seal the block halves if they make up the line bore for the crankshaft. I don't know your engine at all, but I know for outboards where the block splits the crankshaft rides in between the two pieces you do not use silicon. You use a specialty loctite sealer that reddish in color I prefer loctite 518. It doesn't take a lot just a thin layer as you just want a enough to seal not ooz out when the halves are torqued together. [/QUOTE]
