Author Message   Greg_e Posted on Monday, March 08, 2010 - 09:54 pm:        Clutch cover gasket on XB... Aviation gasket cement or Hylomar?   Jramsey Posted on Monday, March 08, 2010 - 09:56 pm:        None required.   Greg_e Posted on Monday, March 08, 2010 - 10:11 pm:        OK, that makes it easier.   Teeps Posted on Tuesday, March 09, 2010 - 09:02 am:        Modern gaskets are best installed with all surfaces and the gasket clean and dry. When needed this product http://www.gasgacinch.com/ is excellent for keeping a gasket in place, whilst getting the pieces together.   Glitch Posted on Tuesday, March 09, 2010 - 09:09 am:          Fast1075 Posted on Tuesday, March 09, 2010 - 09:29 am:        Glitch...thats the Gasgacinch girl. very good stuff.   Greg_e Posted on Tuesday, March 09, 2010 - 10:19 am:        I'll use the Hylomar if I need goo. It was the only thing that could be used to seal RX7 motors after you cut away enough material to prevent running the O ring all the way around the chambers. Tested and proven in many racing vehicles and used on certain street machines too. Remains flexible for it's normal life time and withstands the high heat loads that it would have encountered in those engines while racing. And these were not tear them down after every race engines either.   Snakedriver Posted on Sunday, March 14, 2010 - 04:48 am:        Greg, I assume you talking about pro-seal...Good stuff, but it is a total pain to remove. It also bonds the 2 surfaces. If you used it as a gasket, make sure you have a way prying the 2 pieces apart. With that said, Its truly awesome.

The original was said to remain "liquid" so clean up wasn't that bad. I might go with the Aircraft grade to I can say I'm using airplane parts to make it go faster   Pkforbes87 Posted on Monday, March 15, 2010 - 04:36 am:        I use pro-seal, B 1/4, sikaflex, etc in Aviation applications on a regular basis and have just one question. Why would you use anything like that on a motorcycle? The stuff is designed to be element-proof at 600 mph in sub-freezing temperatures. Some of it is specifically designed to be electrically conductive at the same time. Is there really anything on your bike that needs to be sealed that well?   Greg_e Posted on Monday, March 15, 2010 - 02:02 pm:        No, not really.
