I'm going to be rebuilding a Type IV from a 914 soon, and was wondering what the collected wisdom is concering sealing the case halves.
In aircraft practice, one embeds a silk thread in the sealing compound looping it around bolts, studs, etc, so the sealant isn't all crushed out when the case halves are tightened. Do you VW guys do anything like that, or just use the sealant? What's the preferred sealant these days?
Thanks, Henry Bibb
