Clinder head gasket sealent

[rossi46]

Stag Wellseal is good.

Me too well rcommended available on she bay

I like Wellseal on anything with a gasket but don't you find it a bit thin and messy on the head

I prefer hylomer blue on the top of the barrel just because it a bit more controllable but in all honesty i think it's much of a muchness...

Ive used locktite for the last twenty plus years, before that I used to use gaskets that had a habbit of going pop if the Scooter was ridden too hard....Started using it after I ran a Yamaha DT175 piston with high comp head, the Locktite was reccommended by Dave Webster.....who was I to argue....

Which number loctite do you use,as there are so many variations

I note in sticky's book that MB uses loctite but the pictured tube which is being used is a bearing retainer??????

it is retainer, i have been using the same method. i think im prefering plain cylicone from bandq now though as ive now seen how solid it was on a head i recently took of. nothing was ever getting through that.

the drawback with car gasket sealer is that there is an addative that makes it easy to remove. diy cylicone does not have it so its like s**t to a blanket and needs to be cut off and removed with a chemical. pain in the ass but better than the hole in the piston i have from the leaking gasket
