atvfreestylekid Posted November 5, 2007 Report Posted November 5, 2007 (edited) I'm installing a stroker crank. will I need a gasket where the case splits? I'm sure it does, but I have not found one for sale. also, does it need two of the gaskets under the cylinders? One on each side of the spacer? thanks -Josh Edited November 5, 2007 by atvfreestylekid Quote

I prefer Hondabond...I had better be careful saying that...skating on thin ice tossing the 'H' word in the ring... You need gaskets on both sides of the spacer plate...unless there is another way I am not aware of... Quote

Hondabond or Yamabod is the way to go to seal up the case halves. :thumbsup: Quote
atvfreestylekid Posted November 5, 2007 Author Report Posted November 5, 2007 Ok, i'll pick some up when I go get my flywheel puller I ordered, tomorrow. Thanks alot -Josh Quote
Screaming Yellow Zonker Posted November 6, 2007 Report Posted November 6, 2007 Don't apply a ton of sealer. Too much will hold the case apart and cause bearing failure. That is what I was told. Quote

You were told something that only is a problem if you are using a giant tube of copper RTV. This person also may have a mullet and a 350 Chevy engine block for a coffee table, in his trailer, on his parents land............ If you are sensible about the amount of Yamabond you apply, you will never have a problem. :thumbsup: :thumbsup: Quote
