LIQUID GASKET

[old roost]

Ok guys, I just recieved the last of my parts last night that i need to put the banshee back together

I can not get ahold of Yama bond with out ordering it and waiting. I spoke to the Motorcycle shop that are going to do the machine work. They had some kind of manufacture liquid gasket that cost $90 a tube (small at that). I asked if I could use the very high temp RTV sealent and the head mechanic said that would work on the case halves

Has any one ever used that.....before I blow a gasket...........

How long has it been since you used it? I was going to go with the gray withsatnds up to 1000degrees intermitly I figure the case should not ever get close to that. I fugure maybe 500-600 max?

[Michael66]

A few months. I wouldn't think it would get much over 200 to 275 deg.

use threebond 1104 (old #) or 1194 (new #). its only $6 bucks a tube and the correct stuff......not to mention that its readily available at most any motorsports shop. i hate using any type of rtv silicone stuff for case sealer and such. IMO, that stuff sucks and doesn't last.

Use the right stuff that is made for case halfs. Three bond, yamabond, moto seal. The case halfs are a machined fit. That is why yamabond is thin and runny it allows the cases to fit together properly. Rtv is thick and could cause loose clearances between the cases and crank bearings.Why do you think yamaha doesn't use a gasket?

 

Rtv doesn't hold up to fuel. Gasoline breaks it down.

My next one will be built right. I threw this motor together with old parts while the good one is down. Use the right stuff on your good motor. I scraped orange rtv off of this one so I just threw it back together with blue.

I will try that thanks for your help

i use a master gasket by locktite

[dajogejr]

I use this stuff, can get it at Murray's/Orileys, Auto Zone, Pep Boys.

 

It's a semi-drying liquid gasket, exactly what yamabond, hondabond or threebond is.

 

This works fine....and is readily available.
