Case crank sealing surface

[jackjcc]

I’ve found a small nick on the sealing surface of the case and unfortunately lets tiny bubbles out. If I put dirko on the area when I install a new seal do you think that will fix it? Anybody manage to solve this problem? I have to wait for a new seal to arrive before I can try anything.

A little sealant may help, that is about all you can do.

I've fixed one with 518. I smear it on all my seals before installing. Cheap insurance...

How does it compare to dirko? Same sort of rubbery sealant?

No it's anerobic. Dirko will probably do the job. Just let it set up overnight??

In this particular instance, I would use Dirko, Yamabond, etc....

If you have access to a surface plate, i would give it a very light sanding on one of those, may help knock off any high spots in that nicked area.

And as said above, a little sealer of your choice and you should be good

Is this between the 2 case halves......or at a seal pocket?
Confused.

Thought so
In that case, a surface plate won’t work.
Use Dirko, Yamabond, etc like I mentioned before.
