CB750 Crankcase jointing compound

<< < (3/3)

philward:
Thanks for all your replies - seems the key thing whatever I use is using sparingly particularly around oilways - but covering the whole surface.  Sent for some blue hylamar last night after first few posts as need it for time off between Christmas. Just read a bit about Hondabond and that's silicone based too so I'll have a go with the hylamar. I never worried before but being an old git now has turned me into a worrier! My only concern is how long it takes to go off whilst I'm fitting crankcase together - never had that problem with the red hermatite. Know what you mean about the red hermatite being associated with bodges - seen some of them back in the seventies - particularly on oily British bikes!
Thanks for all your help again guys.
Cant see the pics for the last post - must be my settings

You will be ok with the Hylomar it gives you plenty of time to cover the joints and get the cases together  ;) cheers Mick.

Hi,
     Never had any real problems with blue hylomar,I would say if it is good enough for Rolls Royce it is good enough for me, the one thing I did find some years on after a 400/4 engine strip was quite an amount of small droplets of it stuck on the oil pump suction screen, which again, reinforces previous advice on quantity used. As for going "off" during use, it should be allowed to dry a little before the halves are joined, but it is not a compound that "sets" hard, one of the reasons why its so good
Mick just beat me to it-----Ken

Seamus:
Hondabond is recommended. Should be available from Dave Silver or even a Honda dealer. (maybe deamon tweeks or similar, but get grey/silver as it does not show)
If not then Threebond 1194 (in silver/grey) is an equivelent). This can be bought on Ebay
