[QUOTE="greg brillus, post: 148443, member: 597"] If you do this sort of thing often, then you generally find out the hard way if you use the wrong sealant somewhere on these bikes........Personally I would never use an anaerobic sealant on a case joint for the simple fact that you cannot guarantee that you can bolt the case halves together fast enough before the sealant goes off.........the only sealant i use on case and many other joint surfaces is either Threebond 1215 grey on alloy cases and 1207B on black cases........The trick is to use a nice small bead of it padded down with your finger tip........the excess once the cases are assembled is minimal........I've never had any issues with strands of the sealant coming adrift and causing damage to an engine........As has been mentioned the Japanese have been using this stuff generally with no gasket for decades........Anyone who thinks they can better that .........Good luck.
