Default anaerobic sealant?.....d16y8 rocker arm assembly

what is a this kind of sealant?....is it another word for hondabond?

Because this manual (haynes) says to use it on caps 1 and 6.....basically the outer caps. Do I just use hondabond?, or does someone know what kind of sealant to use?

thanks

Anaerobic sealant won't harden until it's deprived of air. So any stuff that oozes out of the joint won't harden. Loctite is like that.

Other than that particular feature, it's kinda like RTV or other similar stuff. Is HondaBond anaerobic? (I don't know.)

Hondabond is RTV sealant...they are the same...there is a thread about this somewhere...most people use permatex grey.
