Hylomar Blue is really great stuff but you have to be careful not to over do it. I just had to rebuild a 216 due to a shattered fiber timing gear. The genesis of the problem turned out to be lack of oil from the small tube on the front motor mount plate. The former engine rebuilder was more than generous in slathering on the Hylomar which in turn caused the excess to squeeze out into the crankcase during assembly. A tiny gob of the Hylomar circulated around in the oil system until it eventually found its way to the tiny hole that sprays oil on the timing gears. End of story. Like the old hair dressing commercial says: "A little dab will do ya"
