Can anyone tell me what to use for joining the crankcase on a K model yz, apart from the M6 caphead screws. Is a good grade of gasket silicone suitable? Just read an old thread seems like yamabond, or loctite 515 or grey three bond is the go...
Thanks Lads

Yamabond for me. Did the other thread mentioned 'cleanliness is next to Godliness'?

Loctite 515 is what i use, it stays liquid OUTSIDE of thejoint, making clean up easy, and sealant almost invisible to the eye.
