Hello Rich,
I have always greased them. It has served me well for many years but for
the Non-believers I would use Hylomar or Yamabond. The ones that don't dry out.

| I changed my front cover (timing) gasket about 200 miles ago. I cleaned everything, checked for flaws in the mating surfaces and torqued the bolts in a criss cross pattern just the way it should be. The cover is now leaking again and it is driving me nuts. Does anyone do anything with the gaskets like coating them with sealant, grease or anything that they swear by? And what torque spec do those bolts get? I may have under done it in fear of stripping the main case but I don't think so. Any help or suggestions? Thanks, Rich |
