Recommend me some instand gasket

[Robby]

The rocker cover on a CB250RS doesn't have a gasket, just some goo. They're notorious for leaking. There's a bit of pressure behind them, its an air cooled engine, and at one point the sealant is about an inch from the two exhaust pipes.

Hylomar blue has proved useless, it's no good with heat or oil. What have you used?

[MaybeGuy]

hylomar on its own shouldnt really be used for anything imo.

just use silicone sealant

I use permatex 1372 sealant, works really well. There are a few similar types.

I use Loctite Instant Gasket

Permabond A136 thixotropic liquid gasket.

It's a thickish liquid which turns into a solid when compressed. You can run a bead of it on or spread it out with a fingertip then wipe the excess away from the inside edge of the mating surface with a cloth. Doesn't set until assembled. Wipes off with a cloth after dismantling.

Awesome stuff and smells like red liquorice.

Could you not just get a rocker cover gasket?

Seemed pointless starting a new thread for this so here is my hijack:

What sealant to use in here (red box in pic)? It is in addition to a rubber wedge that fills this cutout. The bike is a 2001 CBR600F.

On the vw engines i do at work we use loctite 518 which is like a red paste that only sets once it has no air, very similar to the permabond that stinkwheel recommended just prob more expensive.
its made to join 2 metal surfaces together to be oil and air tight

[Pete.]

Most of the above but use a paintbrush to apply it so that you keep the squeeze-out to a minimum. You want one of them small brushes with quite stiff bristles about 3/4" long.
