RIPRuck Posted November 7, 2007 Report Share Posted November 7, 2007 Yes the three bond 1211 is white and very manageable.. Used it yesterday for my whole motor rebuild and applied it almost everywhere due to some imperfections on my cylinders and whatnot. My son and I used Hondabond last week for his build and that stuff was messy and hard as hell to remove for mistakes. Will see how the 1211 seals when I crank this baby for the first time.

FireHead Posted November 8, 2007 Report Share Posted November 8, 2007 Yamabond 4 is what we use for cases snop....It's just like 1104... I use Yamabond on alot of stuff. Hondabond is the same thing and if I recall correctly, made by the same company...................I wish I had been in the company that pulled that off. I actually used Yamabond as the spec.'d sealant or gasket adhesive for alot of my parts at TRD. 1104 is something that ventures into the alien goo category in lamens terms. If you have two well prepped sealing surfaces, that stuff can be a handful when trying to disassemble parts sealed with it. If it is correctly managed then it's not a big deal, but honestly, when using it, when was the last time your were in a correctly managed situation? :geek: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TexasBansheeMan Posted December 1, 2007 Report Share Posted December 1, 2007 What about ThreeBond 1194 Semi-drying? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theshee Posted December 1, 2007 Report Share Posted December 1, 2007 I just used some 1211 Jeff sent me and I like it better then Yamabond. Its white stuff, and just went on easier then yamabond. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moneybags Posted December 1, 2007 Report Share Posted December 1, 2007 So, if I read this correctly. Hondabond will work for putting the cases back together. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

moneybags Posted December 1, 2007 Report Share Posted December 1, 2007 I already have a tube of hondabond. What kind you have? Is it thick like tooth paste or thin like water? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave I. Posted December 1, 2007 Report Share Posted December 1, 2007 I have threebond 1211. I got it from Jeff. I guess its a little thicker than something like white elmers glue. Its not thick like silicone. Hard to explain. If you want to try it let me know. I also have that leak down tester I made if you want to borrow it when you put the cub back together.

2strokespirit Posted December 1, 2007 Report Share Posted December 1, 2007 (edited) In SA 1211 is the "new" yamabond. Yamaha sell it in the treebond package with a Yamaha part number on it. I like the 1211. Edited December 1, 2007 by 2strokespirit Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lepew Posted December 1, 2007 Report Share Posted December 1, 2007 i dont see why youd put anything on a stock head or base gasket. when i had stock motors i never did without any issues. for the cases i just use yamabond or some gasket maker shit. dont know which kind but ive never had any issues with any of them. I agree, the only place you are suppose to put any sealer is the cases. This might not hold true when you are making extreme modifications. If you are trying to repair a problem with sealer on the head or base gaskets you are really putting a bandaid on the real problem. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snopczynski Posted December 1, 2007 Author Report Share Posted December 1, 2007 In ideal situations, with perfect cases, perfect cylinders, and a perfect head you dont need anything on the gaskets. Sometimes people have their cases welded and they dont seal up 100%, etc.....! Thats when you need to use a sealer on them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
atvfreestylekid Posted December 2, 2007 Report Share Posted December 2, 2007 The shop sold me some hondabond 4 that I used for my case. The top end still needs to be installed so I have not started the shee up yet. I guess I'll know if hondabond is worth a shit or not when I get it all put back together.

BigRed350x Posted December 2, 2007 Report Share Posted December 2, 2007 I've been using the red high-temp gas/oil resistant silicone for something like 8 years now and haven't had a single problem with it whatsoever. I put a small bead on both sides of the cases and put them back together and let it dry over-night in a heated garage and just peel away the excess the next morning. Also use it on intakes, and I had a problem with an air leak around the square key on a big stroker crank once and filled the key with the same stuff and no more leaky. lol. I will probably put some on my next base gasket on my 10mil since my cubs are ported and my cases are matched and it doesn't leave much room for the gasket. I'm going to do more epoxy work on the cases and get some more gasket area next time its apart... - Jared Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FASTOYS Posted December 2, 2007 Report Share Posted December 2, 2007 All the people we have sold 1211 to have really liked it over anything else. It is much easier to work with and seals great. We use it on cases, base and reed gaskets ( sparingly), etc.. Heres a tip for metal gaskets like stock head gaskets, etc. : Use some cheap silver spary paint as the metallic in the silver acts like copper coat but is much cheaper! :biggrin: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
