Hello All,
I am assembling a 1971 TM400 engine and wondering if gasket sealer is recommended on the new gasket between the 2 case halves, if so what product? There are no major imperfections but a few very light nicks in the aluminum. I am more concerned with an air leak in the crankcase than transmission oil leak. I have the service manual which is very vague at best. Thanks Randy

aviation gasket sealant
no matter what you use still put the gasket in, for the correct spacing of gear box shaft shims ;)

Thanks for the replies guy’s. I guess I’m a little paranoid as I have not split the cases before. I have a can of Permatex spray copper and I think I will spray a light coat on each side of the gasket and call it good. The general consensus is with a gasket I really don’t need any sealer at all.

a light spray that will work the best on the new gasket,good luck, :P

Wurth have a Threebond type instant gasket in a small pressure pack, much cheaper, easier to apply and no more wastage due to going off in the tube or nozzle. Think it was $36 for 300g can and trigger nozzle

Keep your gasket goo's in the beer fridge, in a plastic bag with a banana and they won't go off in the tube.
Good tip , I rember as a kid dad saying to mates if they have a wining diff put a banana in it ::)
He tryed it on a old ford transit van it didn't work ;D

No way I'd fall for that one ;) ;D

The center cases don't need any sealer if the OEM gasket is being fitted and their flatness verified.
The gasket is the sealer- and a shim.
Any minor knicks can be scraped or filed.
