Gasket questions.

Post by eyesky2002 »

Crank should be here Tuesday, I got OEM gaskets for the main cases and right clutch case, cylinder base and clutch cover o-ring.

Should I use RTV on any of these gaskets? I did not use it last time for the cylinder, but it was a Cometic and the OEM one looks cheap. Shit they all seem cheap, orange rather them green :roll:

I put a little Yamabond on the paper gaskets, but they should be fine dry.

honda bond is awesome but you gotta work quickly, set up fast but highly doubtful you will get a leak. I dimpled my cases between the tranny and the crank and where the transfers are on the jug.

honda bond is also nice for the next rebuild, it will dissolve making getting the gasket surface clean much easier than removing suborn paper.
