A few years ago I modified a DLE55 which required taking the engine apart and putting it back together. It was a bit tough getting the two halves of the case to separate but once separated I saw that a sealant was used that looked to me to be epoxy. So that's what I used when putting the engine back together. Has worked great since and epoxy is gas proof and is extremely cheap, and is found in almost every one's shop. No need for any new stuff
