brattfield12 1 Posted January 30 (edited) Hi I have bought a trx350d 1989 and the rocker cover is weeping oil. I have found a old thread stating to use hondabond and not silicon . I have looked online and there's two types of hondabond , 4 and ht . Dose any one know which type of hondabond I should be using or an alternative that is as good. Thank you in advance.

jeepwm69 7,233 Posted January 30 I use this. Yamabond is also good to go. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B007TWXI1K/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1 Dang stuff has gotten pricey. Was about $12 last time i ordered some. FJB! 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
toodeep 1,737 Posted January 31 If you buy Hondabond get the HT (high temp). A little goes a long ways and be careful what you use the left over on because it's good stuff. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Permatex Grey Moto Seal is 1/2 the price , a much bigger tube ( twice the size ) and it is the same stuff , you can get it at NAPA , exactly the same stuff from the same factory , as I have read that Threebond is the people that make Hondabond and Yamabond for Honda and Yamaha , cause you know Honda doesn't make it themselves ---- I remember when Hondabond 4 came out and Hondabond 3 was phased out , I read that was done to formulate the product and take out some of the toxins 3 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Are ya gonna completely remove it and clean the old sealant? Id be careful not to use a metal scraper on that aluminum. i also bought a 1/4” and 3/8” breaker bar so i could get straight over the top of those bolt heads. Spray them with penetrating oil about a week before you try to break them loose. Carefully detorque them with six-point sockets. And number or map the bolts as you pull them out—they’re all different lengths and at least one has a copper washer. Edited January 31 by Goober 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Wheeler 2,476 Posted January 31 I’ve had hit & miss results with Yamabond & Honda Bond. I’ve had leaks. Finally got the leak to stop using red rtv. I know the preferred method is Honda Bond, but due to my experience.. I’m still not sure what I’ll use when I reassemble my 400bbk.. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
