[Fot] rear main cap seals

[riverside at southslope.net]

I am putting together a motor and have been advised that it is
advantageous to replace the bcut up ropeb   (still canbt get the
image of an elderly lady putting on panty hose out of my
mind)  with  squeezed in silicone sealant.   Might a void form unknown
to the installer?   If the rope is still best,   what is the best gunkum
with which to soak it.

Thanks for the access to your experience.
