I have used this stuff - Threebond 1215 for the past 20 years on all gearbox and transmission casings. It is the bees knees and is the same product as Yamabond 1215, which is recommended in the manual.

Never seen that stuff over here Dave, I'll check it out on Monday....I'm trying to find some Loctite 5188, or 518... if by chance any excess get into the sump its dissolved by the engine oil which is better than bits floating about in the sump.. I think Just Dan used 515 on his engine which is similar stuff.... Mr Lambeth reccomends Wurth flange jointing stuff (green).

No I wasn't Dave, I haven't got the cases together yet, spent a bloody hour playing with the selectors though wondering why I couldn't get all the gears....

Bit more work on the engine....

Got one of these....



Got some of this....







got it together...





fitted the gear change bits...



primed & fitted the oil pump...



Then I spent an hour searching for the primary drive gear.... thought someone was messing me about cos it disappeared off my bench... then just as I was thinking of nicking one off another engine I remembered it was in the parts washer...

Little bit more done.....

Honed my barrel Saturday morning, turned out nice... checked the end gaps of the new rings in the bore to make sure it was still in tolerance.... its fine....







Brought my barrel home to wash in the sink with hot soapy water, get all the crap out...
