Clean and check surfaces for high spots by scraping with a single edge razor, clean dry with brake clean.
I've used Honda/Yamabond/Triple bond before, anaerobic gasket maker is far superior in my book.
No shifting, and it's almost metal to metal contact, it even says it in the video "used when assemblies have to meet an exact size or dimension to keep tolerances within spec",
"cures to a super tough solvent resistant seal"

Talking to "Boston Bill" of B&B racing a few years ago, he also uses it on everything he builds.
Check out some of the pages from magazines in the Gallery, haven't been around there for some time, he was also a rep for Cometic.

Yes on the Harley cases, the only thing I'll use, strong bond, I never had a failure on anything I've used it on in 35 years, applied correctly of coarse.

In my limited use of it, no.
HD uses that or something similar, my reman Evo seeped, on my 2017 RG, the excess on the outside the case peeled and a few inches was hanging, I cut it as I didn't want to chance pulling any out the crack, unlikely, but why chance it. What If the excess inside turns loose.
The grey snot works, I just know the anaerobic is better all the way around.
Just trying to help.
I bought my first and last tube of hylomar about 10 years ago, they can have that.

Honda bond is pretty much the same stuff. Use a thin layer.. Originally I used Hylomar on this case which was recemented and was listed case a sealer but leaked after about 10K. I've been using Three bond up until the tube dried out.. Honda bond seems the same gray stuff as Yamabond and threebond. Used it on the last motor..
I do a thin even smear both sides, let sit for about 10 minutes to tack up a bit then get busy. I also on the bare cases use a little lapping compound and hand lap the mating surfaces flat. Case seam seeps is one my pet peeves, go a little overboard maybe but hey satisfies my OCD about it.

Everybody has their magic sealant, have 38 years being around Diesel engines, Ultra Black is my go to, used it on sealing Evo cases never having a problem. Yamabound has been used on Harley cases for years also.

I use ultrablack in other places. Really don't have the guts to try it as a case sealer. Good to know it works..
