    What could cause case sealant failure on almost new PV motor?

    1184 for almost 30 years with no issues and I pressure test every engine. Cases should be spotless and final wipe down with brake cleaner. Thin coat of 1184 on both case halves, and by thin you should still se some of the machining. Don't worry about it drying out as it is semi-drying anyways...

    Threebond 1184 vs 1211

    Been using 1184 for almost 30 years now and all the previous names 1104, 1104D. It is the same as PermaTex MotoSeal, Yamabond, Kawachem, HondaBond and is the correct stuff for cases. I use small wooden medical swab sticks, think of a long q-tip stick but wood. I spread an even thin coat to both...

    Funny you should say that. My wife is from Pennant Hills and we were just discussing coming in July. We were last there on our honeymoon in 2007. But I think I will buy you a cold one as we are planning to make our way up the coast. Hmmm….. how many Wax Pipes can a Yank fit in checked luggage...

    Hello Wax. Would you let us know what to look for? Sadly not only do we not have water in California but I’m out on back surgery till at least next summer so I won’t be able to test it. Btw thanks for everything and please take my money for the coming chamber as this is going on my 12 yo’s SN.
