Oil in the brgs yes on the brgs no and if any compounds squidges its too much.

Corrections.....NO, I repeat NO Hylomar of any colour anywhere near an engine. What I said use a smear of would have been Hondabond on bare machined surfaces only, ie, joining top and bottom crank cases where no gasket is used. Hylomar, or similar, can be the death of an engine when it squidges inside and goes all stringy and blocks oilways and jets. Gaskets do not need Hylomar, the gasket makes the seal.

If you use Hylomar it should be put onto the gasket in a very thin layer and allowed to dry before fitting. As per the instructions on the box. I used it on the clutch and alternator covers due to the surface being scored by a previous owner (possibly bad storage of the spare cases at some point). If used correctly it's not an issue. Problems arise when it's spread like toothpaste. As stated if it gets inside the engine it will trash it. I don't use it if all the surfaces are okay as the gasket will be good enough.

Crank case main bolts, hand tightened too much, then put a torque wrench on and the torque wrench doesn't even move, and then hand tighten again :o
Had this engine arrive a couple of days ago, had a shed load of new parts fitted but, the oil filter spring on the outside rang bells straight away and you just know that there is trouble ahead ???
