Fitting oil seals

(1/2) > >>

DomP:
On reassembly of my crankcases should I put a very thin smear of Hondabond on the oil seals that aren't on the case half joints ie selector drum seal?

McCabe-Thiele (Ted):
I would not just makes it harder to remove in the future.
A smear of Red Rubber grease works for me.

DomP:
That was what I wondered but I've seen on some builds where they've been hondabonded but I might be thinking of all the seals that intersect the case halves. 

McCabe-Thiele (Ted):
I used a smear of Hondabond on the crank seals & the bearings to keep them in position laterally.

Bryanj:
Goop on seals held by clamped cases, grease on pushed in ones
