what sealant do you use to reseal your cases?

(1/4) > >>

KXT500:
I am about to rebuild the lower end on a 86 kx250 and will need to reseal the center cases. i asked my dealer but all he wanted was to sell me some parts  :lol:

i will be ordering from service honda (unless you have a better spot) so a part # would be nice.

thanks

I love kawibond but it may not be available anymore.  I really like the permatex motosealant. It is grey and very similar to the kawibond. Cam.

Friar-Tuck:
     I was wondering about this, now that Cam has liked it 
 I'm gonna get some of this next time we go to town, and give it a spin.
It looks to be a copy of Yamabond / Kawibond which are other popular case sealers.

 I have used this in the past and it works well if the mating surfaces are in good shape, hang the gasket up and spray both sides.    Wait a few moments to tack up and put her together.

I use Three bond 1211 with excelent results. We also us it extensively on the PWC case halves. It is also recommended by many manufacturers as the sealant to use in their machines.

Here is a quick URL to check it out.

Tuck,
  That permatex stuff smells "exactly" like the old kawibond yamibond stuff.  I used kawibond as headgaskets in my watercooled 2-stroke roadracer -no gasket of any kind just the kawibond. Never failed or leaked ever.  I have heard great things about the 3 bond (it is sold at my yamaha dealer) but I have never tried it. Cam.
