Snopczynski Posted October 7, 2007 Report Posted October 7, 2007 Ok, answer these 3, what do you use for sealers on the following. Stock steel head gasket: Stock steel base Gasket: Case Halves: Quote
dajogejr Posted October 7, 2007 Report Posted October 7, 2007 Cases, Yamabond...every time (or 1104...same stuff) I use RTV on every thing else....but I have a stock head cut and Oring'd...and a cut. Paper gaskets only for the base...yamabond for the head. Quote
Snopczynski Posted October 7, 2007 Author Report Posted October 7, 2007 I used 1104 on those cases yesterday. I dont like it anymore. I will probably use 1211 or loctite 515 from now on. Quote
dajogejr Posted October 7, 2007 Report Posted October 7, 2007 Snop.. Make sure you use something semi-drying... The cases flex/move just a hair, and that's why you can't use a solid/drying gasket material. I just put a thin coat on both halfs..... Quote
MDS2106 Posted October 7, 2007 Report Posted October 7, 2007 Yamabond on everything but the head gasket.On the head gasket I usually use nothing, but a friend oif mine sprayed some type of copper colored sealer spray last time I installed a head gasket, he was bragging how that spray was the shit to prevent head gasket leaks...

Theres like 7 different yamabonds. I have 4S in the garage and it is nothing like 1104. So yamabond 4 bust be different than 4S. The 4S seems like RTV. That spray stuff was copper coat. I have used that on steel head gaskets (saabs, Rhino, banshees), seems to work ok. I am trying to decide what to use on the banshee I am doing the head gasket on today. I may go over to my best friends and grab the loctite 515 for it. Quote
locogato11283 Posted October 7, 2007 Report Posted October 7, 2007 i dont see why youd put anything on a stock head or base gasket. when i had stock motors i never did without any issues. for the cases i just use yamabond or some gasket maker shit. dont know which kind but ive never had any issues with any of them.

Well not all the time the heads or cylinders you work on will be in perfect shape. This bike in the garage has a stock gasket on it, and it blew out. So, a little extra help with the sealer can get this damn thing out of my hair and running good for my friend. The motor is an 87' 4mill and its seen better days. Quote
Snopczynski Posted October 8, 2007 Author Report Posted October 8, 2007 It was yamabond 6s that I had in the shop. I used copper coat on that guys head gasket. Worked good. Quote
dajogejr Posted October 8, 2007 Report Posted October 8, 2007 Yamabond 4 is what we use for cases snop.... It's just like 1104... Quote
Snopczynski Posted October 8, 2007 Author Report Posted October 8, 2007 Yeah, I talked to Dyno Dave today. He told me to use 1211 on bike with messed up cases that have been welded or have a history of leaking. My friends bike has had the cases welded and its leaked before. Quote
dajogejr Posted October 8, 2007 Report Posted October 8, 2007 I think that 1211 is real, real nasty shit... When I had problems with my cub sealing last year...my buddy mentioned using that as a last resort to seal it...and good luck getting it apart...LOL... Quote
Snopczynski Posted October 8, 2007 Author Report Posted October 8, 2007 Well, this guys cases had it when I tore it apart, and it came right apart with a few dead blow whacks. It looks alot like european block sealant rtv silicone. It has a weird consistency to it though. Quote
dajogejr Posted October 8, 2007 Report Posted October 8, 2007 Must not be the same stuff, my buddy swore it was like cement, not RTV... Said you'd be smacking the ever living shit out of the cases with a plastic/wood mallet to separate them...or the cylinders.... Quote
Snopczynski Posted October 8, 2007 Author Report Posted October 8, 2007 Did he say what color it was. Cause, 1211 is white. Quote
