<VV> sealing crankcase halves

[Shari Hebrink]

Here is a really dumb question - but I would feel a lot dumber if I got the
engine back together and found out it was leaking oil because I didn't seal
it properly.  Referring to my Corvair Chassis Shop Manual. on page 6-32,
point number 5 says "Seal crankcase parting line ends with sealer and
install Left crankcase half to right crankcase half."  Are they really
suggesting using a sealer between the two crankcase halves, and if so, what
type is recommended?  When I disassembled this engine, there was no sign of
any sealer ever between the two halves.  It seems to me that every "seam"
between the two halves is covered by a gasketed joining to another component
or plate.
 
Please advise.  As always, the collective (and individual) wisdom of this
group is much appreciated!
Thanks,
Jedd
