Can anyone recommend a good quality engine assembly lube and a decent sealant for the crankcase halves ?

Cheers, Steve

As advised by Al, Loctite 5980 is good but always buy it from a shop as it has a Use By date and will not go off if it's exceeded - the date is on the tube, not the box. You can get it from Halfords.

I use these.
The Vtech is good for all the case joints, Cam end plugs , Alternator grommet etc.

And the Graphogen for the cam shells, buckets, Piston skirts etc etc.

For engine assembly I use 50/50 molybdenum grease and engine oil.

Otherwise Blue Hylomar or Loctite for joint faces.

Good Luck!
Help and motivation always required......
