Gasket goo, crankcase

<< < (3/3)

Oddjob:
Good point Dave. The pic looks like the bottom half of a 500, which made we wonder about the oil gallery. If however it is either a 350 or 400 then it’s not an issue as you say.

George, only on the crankcases, I tend to fit all genuine gaskets dry. Nothing on them at all. They come off easier that way as well. Honda tended to put a sort of glue or sticky patch where they consider it’s needed, like where the crankcases meet on a clutch case cover. I’ve reused loads of genuine gaskets, just use a craft knife to separate the gasket from where it sticks, don’t just pull the cover off, separate a small amount and run the knife around. Sometimes it sticks to the cover whilst somewhere else it sticks to the crankcase. I used to get them off intact about 90 times out of a 100. They never leaked afterwards either, so money saved.

Thanks for that guys!  ;)
