I've gotten hooked on Loctite 518 for a number of reasons to seal the cases together (and other things) but primarily because it's anaerobic. It only cures in the absence of air so it will cure and harden between gasket surfaces, but any excess will remain gel-like and dissolve in your oil if it comes to that.
Also for the overbore, I went straight from standard bore to 1.00 over. No issues. They don't sell oversized Pistons any larger than that without going to something like a tbolt lightened aftermarket piston. You can ask Texasstar on the forum about all that. The concern about going more than 1.00 is overheating. Your cylinder sleeve gets super thin but at anything up to one over, you're fine.
