What exactly is hondabond??? can I use any other gasket sealer when I install my cams next week?

 

permatex grey.
same stuff.

 

hondabond is the almighty of permatexes. i wont use anything besides it. i get it at honda motorcycle shops, but an auto dealer might carry it too. its perfect for aluminum stuff.

 

hondabond rules.it works very well as a pipe thread sealant(sp) as well.

 

Hondabond smellls sooooooooo good. My brain cells are just basking in it.

 

Kamin, you are incorrect.

Hondabond cleans up with tolulene, Permatex doesn't.

They are close. Tranny gods prefer Hondabond.

 

I prefer Hondabond, the Nissan equivalent is also very good.

 

ok ok
ALMOST the same thing

 

haha, yea it smells a lot better than then RTV blue 6b... that **** smells like ***... hehe oh well $17 a tube is worth the better smell...

 

you pay for your HondaBond????

gotta love free stuff from mechanics!

 

for free hondabond!!!

 

Man i wish.... I pay for the tube then end up using it all on my friend's cars... WTF is that... hehe oh well... Peace

 

i have a question regarding where to apply hondabond, i have recently got my block and head back from the shop and am begining to assemble it...

so far i have applied it the the main seal, oil pump and also water pump, any were else? a list or links would be great

 

For the bottom end about all you have left is the oil pan, on the head Honda Bond the camseals, cam endcap, and the outer most camshaft caps... It's always good to apply some to all the sensors in the head ie (ECT, ECTG, radiator hose) a little on the VTEC solenoid gasket and for the VTEC pressure sensor wouldn't be a bad idea either... And about the only other thing i can think of is the valve cover gasket... Hope this helps... Also forgot to mention, any of the sensors in the block if you removed them aswell, oil press sender etc... Peace

 

why did you put it on the water pump? the water pump uses an O ring type gasket.

 

because his manual probably told him so. i did the exact same thing. the raw gasket isnt enough, just like the oil pan has a gasket but you still apply it there.

 

damn i was gonna say something about this thread being brought back from the dead, but the guy who did it must think jamie pressley is as hot as i think she is, so

 

oops my mistake i did not apply it to the water pump i just used a new o ring... is it necessary to apply it to the oil pan, i am using a new oil pan gasket but i put the oil pan on already and with out power tools it will take for ever to take it off again.

also will it hurt anything if there is too much hondabond applied to the oil pump and main seal cuz i used alot to ensure good seal, and it squeezed out both sides

 

 

You only need a thin coat on the flange area to ensure proper sealing. No need to hog it all on there...stuff's expensive.

I do wish they would make them in plastic tubes...mine keep busting their pants and start squirting from all the corners and creases.
