Dad was a sealing and bonding tech at McDonnell Douglas Aerospace in Santa Monica CA
We were using RTV in 1966. He taught me to start with cleaned surfaces a only apply enough to cover the part. I was a auto tech and rarely had issues with leaking engine following his instructions.
BTW he sealed the Mercury, Gemini, and Apollo space capsules and also Sky Lab.

I love how many people don't realise the thread is doing several different things at once. It creates a constant thickness of sealant, it also allows swelling of the thread over time to seal miniscule gaps that may happen over time as the thread can swell minutely. It also shows the skill of the engine builder to know to use the technique.

He's absolutely correct, it is used on Lycoming aircraft engines and is a VERY reliable technique, but it doesn't work the way he thinks it does. It is not an extra seal, but it works to create a minimum gap and prevent the sealant being squeezed out too thin. It increases bearing clearnances, but only by a few tenths.

Yup. Split aircraft engines like Lycoming use silk thread. They do not have caps for the main bearings, like this engine. The thread maintains the correct gap and pressure on the bearings when torqued. Rubber or paper will crush over time. Lycoming recommends two rows of thread I believe. I have never worked on a Porsche engine but it looks similar.

I'm an aircraft mechanic, as soon as you said "time for sewing class" I got excited lol.
