What about Loctite 660? I have a small tube at home ready to be used in a bearing on an old drill press as recommended by the custom bearing supplier. Here's a description:
LOCTITE 660 is a high strength retaining compound with good gap filling properties, ideal for repairing worn-out seats, keys, splines, bearings or tapers without remachining.
LOCTITE® 660 is designed for the bonding of cylindrical fitting parts, particularly where bond gaps occurs without the need for remachining. The product cures when confined in the absence of air between close-fitting metal surfaces and prevents loosening and leakage due to shock and vibration. LOCTITE 660 exhibits excellent gap cure characteristics and is also suitable for retaining shims.

I've used that stuff and it does work quite well for gluing in bearings but the issue here is that the cylinders are locked on top at the deck then are supposed to float up/down in the block to allow expansion/contraction so glue is bad and why I'm concerned that the paint has bonded to the block.
As a general update I'm a bit trapped in the basement again...Lana finished up what she was doing so its back to me to install trim so I'll be there at least through this weekend and mostly next as well. I guess I''' report out the other glue failure...the durabond I used to make a cheap raised panel door flat all popped off as the cheap paper door expanded with the summer humidity so I'm trying plain old general purpose mud and its mostly ready to reinstall with new hidden hinges as the piano hinges I thought would be great failed the final quality control visual inspection
There is still a bar to build too but cabinets haven't been picked out yet so nothing really to do there until they are bought and arrive other than assemble the V12 that is
