What Gasket Goo ???

(1/4) > >>

McCabe-Thiele (Ted):
Im wondering what gasket adhesive (if any) members us when assembling stuff like clutch covers, engine halves, barrells  etc - obviously not including head gaskets.

Back in the day on mini engines it was just clear grease or for the likes of my old Triumph 21 back in the 1960's  Red Hematite (that never cured the oil leak for more than 10 days).

Nurse Julie:
Honda Bond ( the lightest, lightest smear) for the crank case halves but all gaskets either fit dry, or the lightest smear of grease, not head or base gaskets though.

cantarauk:
Hondabond at £20 and Hylomar at £5 I would be interested to hear who else uses Hylomar. Thanks for that Oddjob

Athame57:
I gather genuine Honda gaskets need no goo.

K2-K6:
I'd certainly not argue about Hondabond,  it is the original "fit" for crankcase joint etc,  so it'll not be wrong.

But,  Hylomar is easily a substitute for any metal to metal joints and any gasket you want to use it on. As already said you have to use it veeeeeeery sparingly so that effectively nill excess is expelled. 

You just don't want ANY excess floating around or squeezing into oil ways as a prerequisite.

I've used Hylomar on gaskets but ideally from an aerosol spray so that it's an absolutely fine coating, it's particularly effective on 750 F2 head gaskets which are often "ahem" troublesome  :)
