Simple straight forward thread.

Threebond is great stuff, not sure if it works by just 'squirting' it into a leak though? But if you can separate the surfaces, clean up and then coat with the stuff it should be good to go.

I use it for most engine building jobs including joining crankcase halves together (not cylinder heads etc. though due to the heat) as do many bike manufacturers (e.g. Ducati) and it works a treat.

A tube goes a long way and for about a tenner it works out considerably cheaper than buying new gaskets too...

If you're stuck at a track and can get to Halfords, almost all of them have some Loctite 5980, very good stuff.

Did you get mine off the lads who were helping me? It’s great stuff and cheap which you’ll like. Given where your leak is, you’ll need this, but an OE gasket will also help.

I think its coming from the two cases mating, so inside. That or the cover is knocked out in my crash a bit ago.

I used a replacement gasket, never worked was worse (although not ome). I used honda sealant (as they use on theirs, not gaskets) from my team mate and whilst it made it better it never cured it.

Its an utter bd as it only happens on track I can't simulate it on tick over or reving the fk out it.

Mine’s the same. There’s a small lip where the bottom end meets the top end on mine, so we’re going to smooth that back. The gasket sealant ive noted above is good stuff.
