Product Review- Yamabond #4

Good stuff

Gasket sealer sort of between Form A Gasket and Permatex 3H

Designed for gasketless joints such as motorcycle case halves.

Had occasion to do thermostat & radiator yersterday on 98 Toyota. Took apart wrong fitting looking for t'stat. Thin shim steel gasket in there. Hmmm, what to seal it with.

Got a new tube of #4 yamabond for about $10 for other projects. Let's try that. I used to use it on dirt bikes with great results. Clean the joint, apply the stuff, let it set while accessing the real t'stat housing...

Also used Y.#4 on the tstat rubber seal. Both sealed up perfectly. Not hard to get off the fingers like form a gasket.

All around a great product.
They do want you to use the entire tube within a year.

I highly recommend it. It would be good for thermostat housings. Differentil cover. Trans pan. Valve covers. Oil Pan... &c.

Thanks for the review. Can you get it at the local parts store, or did you order it on-line?
