Assembling crankcase question??

[orlo]

When I start reassembling my crank cases on my 700 SRX, Do I need to use any specialized sealant between the cases? My repair manual does'nt really say. I've done a lot of rebuilds, just not on the bottom ends of the triples.
Thanks..

yamabond is the best stuff ive ever used, just dont get it on your clothes cause it will never come off.

some sell the yamabond 4, but the shop manual says yamabond 5

I guess yamabond is supposed to be some good stuff... but I have just used a typical anaerobic flange sealant from a local farm supply shop... whatever you do I definetly wouldn't put it back together dry.

lol... just thought stating the obvious couldn't hurt!

 

[daman]

Yup

 

[orlo]

Thanks guys... I see in the manual, it does state "Yamabond 5"..
Use on the whole crank case ? One side only?

 

[daman]

Good luck orlo..

Thanks Daman, I don't doubt my abillities to do it, just want to make sure it's done right!!

Thanks Daman, I don't doubt my abillities to do it

Right thats not what i meant...LOL

 

[orlo]

Yeah, I got it!!!

 

[redsnake3]

just needs a thin layer on one side of the cases. try not to get it on the bearings. the stuff is really stringy so be very careful. and dont squeeze the tube as it is really hard to stop once it starts. hope this is helpful and not just repetitive.

 

[orlo]

Thanks redsnake.. It all helps

you need the yamabond that never completely dries - either 4 or 5 - I've seen polaris and arctic cat mechanics used yamabond for crank cases.

 

[daman]

Yea it's good stuff,i wouldn't use anything else...

Just thought I would add . . .

The Yamabond is to fill any imperfections in the mating surfaces, not to act like a gasket. You want to use as little as possible to only fill any voids, not to separate the matings surfaces at all.

Bondo for the cases... right?!!
