im using yamabond for my s14. the guys on the sig and the guys in the know checca and don fields recommend toyota cam box sealer and yamabond. its available online for about 6 bucks if you google. i got mine at 58cycle.com

Does the Yamabond come apart should you need it to in the future?

Also, I wonder if a Yamaha store might carry it (getting phone book)

[BLUNT]

yes its a non hardening type sealer thats grey in color. it smells really good too. i assume its tasty as well but havent explored that

[GregR]

haha, looks like I'll have to contain myself =(

Thanks for the info!

Many people like Loctite/Permatex Ultra Gray. It almost sounds like similar stuff.

Taste like crap...but Yamabond, Hondabond and Threebond are all the same, any Hylomar sealer will work. Key is non-hardening, oil, gas and high temp resistant and vibration resistant as well. Many choices. But I have to say, Yama(Honda)bond is readily available at most motorcycle shops and does the trick.

About to go get some Yamabond for the timing chain cover gasket, should I get Yamabond 4 or Yamabond 5?

Thanks

[BLUNT]

i was told yamabond 4 and thats what i got

[GregR]

I just found out 5 is a hardening sealer and 4 is the one you want if you ever want to get the parts off again. ...needless to say I went with 4 as advised. Now if I can just get my head bolts, I'll be in business.
