Can I use this as crankcase sealant?

[bazwell]

I went thru my collection of muck looking for some sort of crankcase sealer. For in-between the 2 crankcase halves.

Can I use this stuff, or do I need to go out and buy something else? :ummm:

i cant see why not. but use an extreamly thin line of it as the halves will push the sealant out. i just used permatex rtv black. i didnt even cut the opening bigger, as the tiny hole was almost to much. make sure the halves are spotless. good luck.

peace,

Probably would work...but a tube of Yamabond case sealer is $10 and will last you the rest of your life, hate to find out one it's installed and oiled up that the sealer didn't work.

Just saying $10 might be the price of piece of mind.

I'd ask Sean, Dammon, or call PCW. they're the experienced engine builders for the VMAX. My self,I like Yamabond products. Lock tite alsos makes a good case half sealer. It's red and used by a lot of 2 stroke outbooard mechanics. Good stuff. I wouldn't skimp there. Or anywhere after going through that much money and work.
Just my two cents.

That should work fine too though I do use the yamabond as noted.

Thanks for the responses. I did some googling and it seems to be OK, but comes definate second to Yamabond/3-bond. Seeing as how it's now Monday, I'll drop by a place that has Yamaha, Honda and Ducati dealerships. One of them should have it!

Hi folks:

Regarding Yamabond, I seem to recall that there are different number Yamabonds, like Yamabond 5, 6, etc....Am I wrong on this?

And if I'm right, what's "the best" number to use, or are the different numbers for different bonding purposes?

Thanks.
