Crancase joints.

(1/2) > >>

royhall:
Easy question this morning guys. Whats the recommended jointing goo for the join on the crankcase halves. I've got some Blue Hylomar is that okay, but will get whatever is advised. Thanks.

Bryanj:
Hylomar is OK as long as it is spread VERY THINLY as is silicone used the same way. Some people swear by threebond or Yamabond but they are pricey for only one engine.

I have always used silicone and never had a problem but then i have been doing it years and know how much is too much----remember what you see squeezed outside is the same as what squeezes inside

royhall:
Is that just the clear bathroom silicone your using Bryan. Got heaps of that.

mike the bike:
I use. Grantille instant gasket.   It's clear and doesn't show.

royhall:
I assume you meant "Granville instant gasket clear" Mike. Got some ordered off eBay. Only £5.95 for 85g tube. Cant be bad.

Can I just clarify something else without having to start a new thread. Bit of a dumb question that I should have tried out before pulling the engine. On the 350/400 is it possible to remove the head and barrels with the engine in the frame?

Thanks Guys.
