Case sealer

[lyletrudell]

I will be putting my engine back together this weekend, hopefully.
I have the Gaskets, thanks Bill.
And found most seals and O-rings.
The cases don't use a gasket like most motorcycles.
I have used Yamabond before on my Go-Kart and motorcycle cases, it doesn't harden and is easy to cleanup.
My motorcycle mechanic buddy said, Threebond products, #1104 & #1211.
I don't know where these Honda engines are prone to leak, so any advise would be helpful.
For sure I have to keep the sealant away from all oil passages.
Thanks
Lyle

I have always used Aviation Permatex,as we used on airplane engines and VW air cooled, I have however heard people who like the Yamabond, but have never used it myself. I have never had a problem with the Aviation Permatex,but I am also kind of old school,kind of like to use what I know works(for me) anyway.

Hi Lyle,
I recommend Yamabond, all the tech schools I have attended endorse it
above all others. I used it on my own rebuild earlier this year, 4500+
miles and no leaks!

Like most other horizontally split cases, the places most prone to
leakage are the vertically mounted accessory covers. Also, around the
aluminum washers and possibly around the driveshaft yoke seals.

Brad and John thanks for the replies.
I have always used Yamabond but if something new has come out I don't want to limit myself.
My buddy went to the Motorcycle school in Orlando and he said Yamabond is good also.
Thanks
Lyle

lyle, HYLOMAR UNIVERSAL. It's the top stuff. Rolls Royce developed it for their machinery...... It's made by others under licence.
