Looking at assembly sealant options for the crankcase halves just a coule of questions please - I've looked at historical posts and on Google so I obviously need to make a choice. The price is not really a consideration (within reason) - I want to do it once & do it right.

1) I know with the likes of Hondabond it is used very sparingly - so what size / quantity of sealant tube do I need?

2) There seem to be several versions of Hondabond what is available now, Threebond 1184, Yamabond etc what is the easiest / best to use please - also thinking of a ticking clock to assemble all those top & bottom bolts before it sets?

Hi Ted, I have just sent for Hondabond 4, seems to be the sealant of choice for a lot of people. But the 550 was sealed with Hylomar Blue without any problems. I haven’t used Hondabond before so I am interested to see what like! Sorry that’s not particularly helpful or answered your question. The guys will soon be contributing I’m sure.
