What type of gasket materal should I use between the case halves?
Thanks! :thumb:
What over comes when you order the gasket? :dunno_white: :laugh:
I thought the case halves didn't have a gasket. Thought it was rtv or some type of silicone gasket material.
Yeah, I think you're looking to use Yamabond or similar in there
Yup no "gasket" listed. So back to my original question. What type of gasket material should I use between the case halves. Will copper RTV work? I used copper RTV on my 72 VW case and it worked very well.
Not sure about copper rtv...
I think my previous statement stands but here's more official info:
Quote from: Clymer manualApply a light coat of nonhardening liquid gasket sealer, such as Suzuki Bond No. 1207B, ThreeBond No. TB1207D, or equivalent...
I saw that in my manual also. Just wondering if something readily avaliable at an auto parts store would work. I assume I could get suzuki bond at a dealer, eh? Never heard of three bond.
I would think any store with a wide variety of gasket goops would have something that would fit the bill. I don't have enough experience to recommend any one in particular, just the time to keep responding here :laugh:
Yeah, I would think the Suzuki dealer should have the stuff. I'd bet it's rebadged ThreeBond gasket maker, judging by the part #
My only real advice is don't apply too much, I found some of that crap in my oil and a bunch of it in the oil strainer restricting oil flow... but my engine's never been apart to my knowledge
I think it's 'Permatex' that makes most of the gasket selants I've seen at the car stores. Used it a few time (different types), but seems to be readily available and carried in a lot of stores. My baby leaks all over everything I drive over :icon_rolleyes: need to seal her up soon too... Lemme know how it all turns out, what you decided to use, etc...
Use a non-hardening gasket sealant. I have used some by Permatex with perfect results. Available at most any auto parts store.
