I can only recommend High-Tack adhesive by Permatex for case halves.  It's
sort of like contact cement in consistency; you apply to both surfaces, let
it set up for a few minutes, then bring it all together.  It stays pliable
permanently.  Any excess squeezed out of the seams is easily cleaned off
with a solvent or just by rubbing with your fingers.  I (and many other
engine builders) have used it for decades.

  I'm not familiar with Right Stuff.
