[QUOTE="greg brillus, post: 37601, member: 597"] Best sealant on the market these days by far is Three bond, beauty of it is it's available in grey and black, The Japs designed and use this stuff on their engines for years....how many Jap cars or bikes do you see leaking oil these days.....nil....I always put a smear of it under the heads of the through bolts that pass through from the primary side behind the chain and chain wheel, as this area seems to be a source of oil leaks across the other side off the bottom of the kickstart cover, as primary case oil bleeds along the through studs and drips from the other side...this always risky if you disturb the studs when removing/ installing the kickstart cover.....damn just when you thought it was the valve lifter abuttment seals....remember there's always more to a Vincent than meets the eye..........Greg.
