case sealant

[SuperMex]

I used the search option but it was old post I used Yamabond last time but I hear that the right stuff is better what's do you guys use and any advice on sealing the cases up. Thanks

threebond 1211.

threebond 1194

 

 

i rather 1211 its less messy and cleans easier once set.

i wouldn't use "right stuff" we use it for sealing rear diff's on cars and is almost impossible to get them back off after a while. i could only see someone destroying their cases trying to get them back apart.

Yea you need to find some one new for advice. The righ stuff is the wrong stuff. It works good on cars sealing oil but it wont stand up to fuel. Never use a RTV, Ultra Sealer, or Silicone for cases.

 

Two Reasons.

 

#1. Fuel disoves them.

 

#2 They are a thick sealer. So you can cause improper tolorances (to large) between the cases, and bearings.

 

 

Yamabond 4, Hondabond 4, Three Bond, Permatex Moto Seal are the correct products to use.

X2 on this, I would recomend either Yamabond 4 or MotoSeal although Hondabond 4 is probably the same stuff as Yamabond 4 just in Honda packaging. All the OEMs have their chemicals and supplies made by someone else.

Do not use the right stuff. I used it on cars in the past, that shit is ment to go on and not come back off

threebond 1107, thats all ive ever used and never have i had a problem

[camatv]

i personally feel the 3 bond stuff dries to hard. and can lead to vibration leaks over time

 

import grey available at ANY parts store is excellent just like yamaha bond. i have been using import grey for about 10 years now it seals great works every time and if i need some on sunday or the stealership is out i can just go right to the local o'reilly's and buy it

 

your only talking about 6 bucks here.

three bond 1211 is a silicone gasket. Lots of reputable builders use 1211.. Just saying.

When I said silicone I ment the tube of Goo that is labeled clear silicone. Not every product that contains silicone.

 

 

So are you endorsing that every product that contains silicone is ok to use then?

ThreeBond 1194 here. Nice thin bead and after you torque the halves down it looks just like factory. People hardly ever realize how far this stuff goes until they goop it all over the surfaces and find after a tear down that it had leaked into the crankcase and transmission area.

theshee had some nice pics of a motor he bough. Yamabond was inside the crank bearings and it rolled over real stiff.
