Hi Guys
Have just got all the bits for my xmas holiday engine build - verrrrrry expensive! Got the bigbore 836 kit from cruzimage Japan on ebay having done a bit of research on the SOHC forums - service was first class and arrived in a week!
New big ends, mains, bigbore kit, camchain, primary chain and all tensioners.
Its a few years since I've rebuilt an engine - CB1100RB and Phil Read Rep - so reasonably confident except it was about 20 years ago and was wondering what the current thoughts are on what jointing compound to use for upper/lower crankcases?
Also, can anyone recommend a company local to Wigan, Lancashire that can do the rebore for the bigbore kit and cost. I'm not too bothered about having it done quickly provided I get the bottom end completely built up over the xmas break, I'll be pleased.
Any help appreciated.
Thanks
Phil

Hi Phil I use Hylomar Blue sparingly you don't want any getting into the oil ways  ;) cheers Mick.

LesterPiglet:
I've only ever used red Hermatite. Can you still get it?


YES

philward:
Thanks for replies - I used to use Red Hermertite on previous rebuilds - didn't know its was still available - I'll check ebay. Thanks again

Bryanj:
NO and a Thousand times NO to the red Hermatite!!! Its an oil way blocker as is Hylomar if too thick.

A VERY thin layer of silicone if you can't get Honda bond or Yamabond ( I think Dave Silver does the Honda one
