Hondabond or?

(1/4) > >>

neat street:
Hi all, do you all use hondabond on the crankcases or any other type of sealant like Mannol 912? the price range varies by quite a bit for Hondabond? is it all genuine?
thank you

I've never put two crankcase halves together myself. But if you are buying something like Hondabond, (the only sealant I remember being discussed here) on Ebay then check out the sellers record and rating, it's very telling. ;)

You can also use Yamabond. I've bought Hondabond a couple of times in the past and it's excellent but expensive, £18 for a small tube of it. The really annoying thing about it is it goes off in the tube over time. I have tried most things such as stretching a piece of rubber glove over the end before screwing the cap back on, blocking the tube with a screw down the end etc but nothing seems to stop it. Being solvent based once the seal is broken it will tend to evaporate and I'd guess they are all the same.

Seen Alan Miliyard using grey permatex in a few of his videos.

Any compound that does not dry into lumps that clog oilways is fine BUT the thing to remember is USE SARINGLY
