[QUOTE="pdcracing, post: 148437, member: 4154"] Threebond 1184 is NOT a Silicon based sealant but is the same sealant used by ALL the Japanese motorcycle manufacturers when assembling their motors. It is solvent based, semi-setting and will seal scratched and damaged metal to metal engine faces without problem. I use it on my Velocette for ALL metal to metal faces and also use it in place of ALL thin paper gaskets where the gasket thickness is not important for clearances or end floats. On those joints I use the correct thicker gaskets with a smear of 1184 on either side to ensure sealing and in the majority of cases have been able to reuse these gaskets several times after cleaning off the old sealant using cellulose thinners.
