Using Loctite to glue to block to the crankcase sounds good however, be sure you never want to part them. Many years ago I was refitting the half ton drive end housing to an 8000 bhp engine in Australia. The joint should be a Loctite grade which doesn't have instant grab allowing the housing to be slid into position, unfortunately the Loctite grades in Australia had different codes to the UK and the one used was instant grab so it was a major operation to part the housing from the crankcase.
