Since this is going in a Pietenpol, I guess I don't have to use exactly what they specify, but I was wondering what others have used with success, besides the Permatex #3 Aviation/Loctite 515/silk thread to seal their crankcase halves.

For direct cross loctite 515 to Permatex's version 51531. I like using the 518 (Permatex 51813) as it is slightly thicker and compensates for older cases that someone used a screwdriver to separate and heat induced case pucker between bolt holes. Use the silk thread as well and the materials sparingly. Since motorcycles and boat motors are assembled in similar fashion, they all have their own "brands" as well, but I have been using the 518 successfully for many years. Another manufacturer is Hernon and they should have a cross reference sheet. they may be harder to come by. A Google search will turn up supply houses for any of the above. Good Luck on your project.

No oil leaks and we were advised to skip the silk thread which we did. Also used it to seal the flange of a E-185 scavange oil pump against the accessory case. Haven't test run yet, but we're hoping for good news.
