Gasket suggestions (Read 68 times)

NHLycan Junior Member Offline Nice forum! Posts: 86 New Hampshire Gender:	Gasket suggestions 11/21/13 at 18:09:15 I'm about to drop in my new Verslagin can tensioner. It occurred to me to ask, what's the best gasket material for the crank case cover? Anyone have a feel? Blue silicone? Paper? Metal to metal?

If you don't want to do that my suggestion would be Hondabond or something similar. Some people like RTV -"blue silicone"- I'm not gonna recommend that. IMO it sucks.

It is the "best' thing to use.....and it does not need any sealer. I would loosen and clean the neutruel light wire grommet.....and a small layer of sealer on that plug is not a bad idea.

Installed the Versy adjuster today and the crank gasket was in too ice a shape for me to want to pull it. I did add some Hondabond at the wore port though, so thank you for that advice.
Filled her back up with oil. Tomorrow I hit VIP some high temp anti seize and hope to have her back together for Sunday. You guys are life savers. Thanks for everything.
