Title: Sorry for any previous asks on this topic - what is the best crakcase sealant?
Post by: McCabe-Thiele (Ted) on April 29, 2021, 01:33:52 PM
Looking at assembly sealant options for the crankcase halves just a coule of questions please - I've looked at historical posts and on Google so I obviously need to make a choice. The price is not really a consideration (within reason) - I want to do it once & do it right.

1) I know with the likes of Hondabond it is used very sparingly - so what size / quantity of sealant tube do I need?

2) There seem to be several versions of Hondabond what is available now, Threebond 1184, Yamabond etc what is the easiest / best to use please - also thinking of a ticking clock to assemble all those top & bottom bolts before it sets?

Hi Ted, I have just sent for Hondabond 4, seems to be the sealant of choice for a lot of people. But the 550 was sealed with Hylomar Blue without any problems. I haven’t used Hondabond before so I am interested to see what like! Sorry that’s not particularly helpful or answered your question. The guys will soon be contributing I’m sure.

The 1.9 fl oz Honda Bond lasts Graham for about 10 sets of engine cases.
