Hi guys, can anyone advise me the best way of sealing my crankcases as I've just done the bearings? Kind regards Neil

Agreed. Use a VERY THIN coat. I used a small paintbrush. You can only see the Curil where the brush streaked it...

Acetone does a good job of cleaning any oil from components or even fingerprints that have got on the sealing surface too.
