Forget trying to seal it that way. Clean the cap grooves, and block area, put cap back in place and fill each groove with your favorite tube sealer. Long as it's clean it will seal fine when it sets up.

thanks I thought about that but was told not to but will the bearing go in and be flush top and bottom with block

Yes, bearing should be flush on both cap and block. There's also a small area where the sealer will squirt out at the front and back of the cap-block mating area. Keep sealer away from the bearing area.
