lastlegwarrior Posted August 10, 2004 Report Posted August 10, 2004 I'm putting the cases back together, what type of sealant should i use to seal the cases? thanks for the help. Quote
lastlegwarrior Posted August 10, 2004 Author Report Posted August 10, 2004 well i kind of figured yamabond, but i don't know where to get it. Right now i have some high temp copper gasket maker it says it's good up to 700 degrees, and leak proof. so basically is it totally necessary to use yamabond? Quote
87sheerips Posted August 10, 2004 Report Posted August 10, 2004 Use Bondtyte 1104, call the guy on my signature and hell hook u up. Supposedly better than yamabond considering it doesnt break down as easily. I just sealed my cases with it and it is great, i think he sells it for like 15 bucks . He uses it on all his methanol drag banshees so im sure its great stuff. Quote
banshee boy 98 Posted August 10, 2004 Report Posted August 10, 2004 go to you local dealer and get yamabond. Quote
nater006 Posted August 10, 2004 Report Posted August 10, 2004 ... also, its Yamabond #4 that you want. Quote
BdBanshee Posted August 11, 2004 Report Posted August 11, 2004 Get it at your dealer for about $5 a tube. Quote
lastlegwarrior Posted August 11, 2004 Author Report Posted August 11, 2004 would hondabond work. cause they don't have yamabond in stock and i don't want to wait an extra week to get it. Quote
a&sbanshee Posted August 11, 2004 Report Posted August 11, 2004 in my opinion the honda bond is a better sealant than the yamabond i have used both and i like the way the honda bond seals better than the yamabond but either will work find i just prefer the hondabond just make sure its the gray color hondabond its sticky as a mofo u will see what im talking about when ya use it and be sure that all of your surfaces are clean of any old sealant and it doesnt hurt to run a lil hondabond around the seals either Quote
boonman Posted August 11, 2004 Report Posted August 11, 2004 I have used Yamabond for awhile now. Never tried Hondabond. Sounds lke about the same thing. prolly from the same place. Anyways, Do not use gasket maker on the cases. Get the right stuff for the job..... If they don't have any, find a dealer that does.... Quote
lastlegwarrior Posted August 11, 2004 Author Report Posted August 11, 2004 a&sbanshee, did you mean actually put the hondabond on the crank seals? Quote
a&sbanshee Posted August 11, 2004 Report Posted August 11, 2004 around the top part of it i put just a lil bit to make sure it seals to the upper case half good it hasnt given me a problem yet so i guess it doesnt affect the seal any by puttin sealent on the top or it where the groove is for the casing Quote
nater006 Posted August 11, 2004 Report Posted August 11, 2004 When i got mine, the guy at the Stealership said that some guys put a dab around the edges of the seals to keep them from potentially walking around in the future. if you do it right, doubtful that would happen anyway, but it doesn't really hurt by any means.
