Yamabond vs. Threebond

[RSaggiorato]

Alright, so up here we have no threebond 1211... seems as though the only sealant that everyone recommends that we can get in Yamabond (1 through 5).
Does anyone know what Yamabond # is the equivalent to Threebond 1211?

Thanks

are you sure.....looking at my pump there is some gray gasket material that was put on at the factory. would there be any problems with using yamabond 4 on the pump?

:dunno: I have never used anything on pump seal and never had a problem

I only use grease to prolong its life.

Threebond 1211 works great; I've found that Yamabond-4 starts drying too quick.

I may be mistaken but I believe that threebond makes the product for yamaha and it is just repackaged,at least thats what I have heard from reliable sources.

Permatex moto-seal is what I've been using for case assembly.

Everyone around here uses threebond 1211. We used to use Yamabond. On Seadoo rotary engines, the case sealant fails around the oil filled rotary valve chamber. Then the motors slowly fill with oil when sitting. We were told that 1211 would resist "breakdown" caused by some of the additives in todays oil. Anyhow, that is when we made the switch over to 1211. We have had great luck with it.
