Liquid gasket on top of everything else?

<< < (2/4) > >>

K2-K6:
Car sump are a classically cheap non critical (for dimensions) gasket interface along with the old pressed steel rocker covers with minimal bolt fixtures.  No joints on these Honda engines are that type.

It has got amazing material performance, generally very very high heat tolerance too, but properly engineered joints with dowel location and usually needing no flexibility (most joints on these Honda engines) don't require flexibility or that quality in a sealant.

Sorry to be thick, which is the Hondabondof choice s there are two tube colours, a blue one and a red one, which one for the 550 cases?

Like I say, sorry to be thick :)

Sesman:
I use Hondabond HT, the Red one. No doubt it’s the wrong one🤔

alexdecker:
Several people says they use blue Hylomar for the crank case halves as well. It is readily available in my region. Can I use that instead?

Bryanj:
Used to use it in the 70's but needs to be VERY thin
