Best gasket cement for crankcases

What are you guys using for gasket cement/sealant when rebuilding crankcases? I know Wellseal is the best in the UK, but it is very expensive to ship here.

No eBay APP ID and/or Cert ID defined in Kunena configurationAny good silicone sealer will do the job.
I use this V-TECH vital black.
You only need a light smear towards the outer edges of the case joint and it's also good for the cam end plugs, alt grommet and cam tunnel areas etc.

I use Loctite 515.

I have been using Three Bond #1104 semi-drying case sealant since back in the 70's. And I would not use anything else on my case halves!!! It is what Kawasaki used on their case halves when they built the Z1's, Kz900's, Kz1000's, and about every thing they built back in the 70's to the 90's.

Its sold by Yamaha as Yamabond. Forgot what Suzuki and Honda sold it as. It is grey in color. Don't know if Three Bond has updated the #1104 number to something else in the past few years. I know it as TB-1104.

Threebond 1184 is their most recent synthetic rubber formulation for sealing things like crankcases. www.amazon.com/Three-Bond-Sealant-Liquid-Gasket/dp/B007TWXI1K

This stuff is not RTV, although Threebond also makes RTV products as well which can be used. www.amazon.com/Three-Bond-Gasket-Maker-1...474&s=gateway&sr=8-1

I've used both and prefer the 1184 but the 1207B is black and thus it doesn't show on a black engine. Pretty sure Kawasaki used this stuff on my 750 engine because the case sealer was RTV. At any rate, there are different options available that will work if done properly.

Thanks guys. That is a great help!
