That goes without saying.

Question from the greenie: What's the best way to clean mating surfaces when using Loctite/Permatex 518?

Also, is 518 the stuff used where you simply run the saw to clean up any internal over-spooge?

Brake cleaner, carb cleaner, acetone, lacquer thinner.

Yes

I guess I'm the odd man in the crowd. ..This is what I use. Can be messy if you aren't careful, but effective!

I've seen many failures due to using too much sealer under cylinders. Not instant, but after hours of run time when a piece of it eventually hardens enough to break loose.
Make sure you don't leave the piston down at bdc if you use 518. Ask @Adirondackstihl why if you want to know. Lol

Bubble gum, and shoo goo?

Can I use the gum with spider eggs in it?

I used to wait 12 hr cure with 518, but after 20 min it has 75% strength. Last few saws I've built, just fired em off once finished.

Loctite isnt susppose to bond well to magnesium so this is what they recommend with their products. Works really well and is what I prep with https://www.pegasusautoracing.com/productdetails.asp?RecID=7400

if you want to see which of them are the best just put a little of all them in a piece of plastic or metal and leave them dry for about one day then put them in fuel for many hours this that will keep more is the best

Me too. It depends on which packaging you check for cure time.

You were the one to say you just fired off once done.

The online info sheet says ok to put direct into service.

 

[mdavlee]

Yep. I've got 3 different tubes of the same stuff

Hondabond for me but I know a guy and can get it cheap(er).
I have been known to use Indian Head on case gaskets though.
