They're the same on both sides.

I use Loctite 518, but I don't recommend it to others. Everything has to be extremely clean, and there is a cure time. The Yamabond, Hondabond, etc is easier to use.

Threebond 1184

i didnt dare assume a manufacturer would do something so sensible lol.

Three bond will seal it with no O ring.

I wouldn't trust that in the long term.

Dirko.....maybe.

Even with the recessed grove for the seal to sit in? There isn’t much flange material on the covers either, especially around the screw holes.

I’ve used Yamabond, Dirko, and 518 on cylinder bases, but they are a more solid metal to metal flange.

I have seen it done on 372 XT.

Dirko, threebond, hondabond, yamabond... I've heard it was all the same stuff until recently. I think hondabond cheeped out and went with something else.

The Dirko I use is really thick.....not at all like the others.

Interesting. Does it create little strings everywhere like ThreeBond?

The "bonds" all come from Threebond of Japan, they do have different products in there line.
Dirko is made by Elring of Germany, once again they have multiple products as well.

Which is the product Stihl uses, it is an RTV sealant, Elring doesn't list fuel as one of the things it's resistant to, unless that is covered under other etc.. Obviously, it's in enough products to know it works well and if Tree Monkey catches you using something else, expect and azz chewing. Lol

Which leads me to another interesting point, lots old Mac I've torn down, the case was sealed with clear silicone from the factory. Might just be more worry, than what really works/doesn't.
