i put the crank into the left side of the case and made sure the forward bearings were aligned correctly. i then put a very light layer of sealant around the edge. i'm not using the silk thread since my case was line bored and the people who did it said not to. then i laid the right side of the case (with the cam in it) onto the left side and mated them up. put all the fasteners in and set the torque on the thru bolts. then i torqued the rest of the bolts following the torque sequence in the overhaul manual. starting to look like an engine again.
