Silicon should not be used on the case parting surfaces.
Staying Aircooled is so much nicer.

thta is the silicone that peeled out to the inside of the casing, this guy even siliconed the rear bearing
yournal, the oil pump was so over siliconed that it will never pump oil. you wont beleve how dificult it was for me two split the casings from each other , thats how it was glued with the silicone
