whats the best way of sealing the main crank bearing cap on a rebuild? its the No5 one flywheel end and houses the rear crank seal.

The only way i know is by messing about with that stupid sealer and hardener by injecting it down into the grooves.

its a pain in the arse though is there a better way?

...pardon. you have to mix it like filler and it stinks and gets everywhere... its like beetroot. Just looking at it and its on your shirt

Renault supply a syringe thing to inject it down into the grooves but it just doesnt work like that. The end doesnt even fit.

I used loctite instant gasket that comes in the pressurised container... seems to be working so far..
