Hi
The Aviation sealer works but it is a PITA to take the unit apart afterwards and to clean before assembly. Try using Permatex Hylomar it seals just as well but is easy to disassemble and clean up for reassembly. Originally made by Rolls Royce to seal their engines. Use it on all my motors and no oil leak issues to deal with.

I used Permatex on the VW engine I rebuilt. That was the way it was usually done. Kind of gluing the crankcase halves together.
