Upgrades and improvements for longevity

[AustinWood]

I have a shallow aluminium sump on my car. I gave up with the tin ones as all mine had, or quickly developed, pin holes. The aluminium ones seal with no problems and also improve the rigidity of the crankcase.
I don't use a gasket but stick it on with ThreeBond 1184. This holds very tightly and further improves the rigidity.
I use ThreeBond 1184, again with no gasket, for the block to crankcase. I am of the opinion that having as rigid a joint here as possible reduces the chance of the block coming loose. Even a very small movement on the joint increases the forces on the studs dramatically.
A friend was helping Chris Gould's 10000 mile record attempt and told me about the block being held down with a brake cable.

Reading the technical bulletin for TB1184 it sounds ideal. How do you find disassembly? The bulletin does not mention this.

It takes a fair amount of leverage to separate the sump from the crankcase. However no danger of damaging either and it demonstrates that it's doing what I intended.
Haven't had to separate block and crankcase but I think it's pretty solid, once again that's what I want it to be. Have had blocks coming loose in the past and studs pulled out complete with part of the crankcase attached.
