Should I use jointing compound?

(1/5) > >>

Drew400:
Hi all,

I will preamble this new thread with the announcement that I'm about to start my engine rebuild. Regular readers will know that this is a first for me and so I'm ever so slightly nervous of turning my restoration project into a piece of non-running living room art!

So, here's the first in probably a long series of questions: should I be using a jointing compound to stick the crankcase halves, etc. back together? If so, what substance do you recommend?

Cheers,

D.

I used blue hylomar, a very thin smear is all that's needed.

Lynx:
I'd definitely use one. I used Loctite 5922 non-hardening flange sealant. I think Yambond is the preferred stuff.

Drew400:
Thank you both.

Cheers,

D.

Trigger:
Hondabond but,Hylomar is cheaper ;)
