blubyyou Posted May 21, 2012 Report Share Posted May 21, 2012 I'm out of reed cage gaskets and I was trying to get my motor assembled. Local dealer don't know they're butt from a whole in the ground and i didn't want to wait 3 days to get them from FAST. I'd like to get it together so I can do a leak down test on it. Can I use 3bond without any worries or should I just wait for gaskets? Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Surfrjag Posted May 21, 2012 Report Share Posted May 21, 2012 i use the sheets of gasket material they have at most local hardware stores to make my own gaskets. 3 dollors and you can make at least 20 of them.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nieskes Posted May 21, 2012 Report Share Posted May 21, 2012 Re-use the old ones if not ripped, with a little 3bond on each side of them. Or go on ebay and see if you cant find any dirt cheap and just overnight them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blubyyou Posted May 21, 2012 Author Report Share Posted May 21, 2012 Never thought of that....I would assume napa or a part store should have it in stock? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BLOODRAGE Posted May 23, 2012 Report Share Posted May 23, 2012 had to use ultra black gasket maker on my other reed cages once.never had any leaks i think lol,its the same shit i use on my case halves Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blubyyou Posted May 24, 2012 Author Report Share Posted May 24, 2012 I went to the parts store....cut my own gaskets and placed a light coat of 3bond on them. Sealed up great ...motor held 10th psi for 30 minutes so it should be good to go. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
