GASKET SUPPLIES AND TOOLS:

Gasket Adhesives and Removers:

b4) Aftermarket pure SILICONE GREASE----this is the proper product to use when installing any rubber-based o-ring or seal or paper gasket. Silicone doesn't affect rubber, provides good seal lubrication, can also be used as a "glue" to hold gaskets and seals in place during installation, and to aid in the re-assembly of components.

HCP28407 Aftermarket o-ring, oil seal, and gasket installation pure SILICONE GREASE. This small 5-gram (1/6-oz) snap-open "pillow packet" is enough for a few small oil seals, dozens of o-rings, and the like. Each:
$ 4.95

HCP1714 Aftermarket o-ring, oil seal, and gasket installation pure SILICONE GREASE. This generous 14-gram (1/2-oz.) tub goes a long way, because just like Brylcreem, "just a little dab will do ya'!" Each:
$ 9.95



HCP3120 Aftermarket black GASKET MAKER, large family-sized 3.8 ounce squeeze tube. Enough to do about five thousand cam end plugs! I'm sure it works well in other applications. This is for use on the half-moon end plugs (HCP1619 for non-YICS applications) and the molded-in end plugs (part of the actual rubber gasket) on YICS engines. Do not use on the paper or rubber valvecover gasket itself! Each:
$ 11.95

HCP3120A Aftermarket black GASKET MAKER, smaller 1/2-ounce squeeze tube. Enough to do a few hundred cam end plugs! It's the smallest size offered. I'm sure it works well in other applications. This is for use on the half-moon end plugs (HCP1619 for non-YICS applications) and the molded-in end plugs (part of the actual rubber gasket) on YICS engines. Do not use on the paper or rubber valvecover gasket itself! Each:
$ 7.95


HCP25092 Aftermarket high-performance aviation-grade, black, non-hardening GASKET MAKER, 1.5 ounce squeeze tube. This special high-performance sealant is ideal for use on engine case covers as a “problem solver” material which will compensate for poor machining tolerances or the slight warpage that can occur over time on precision-fit pieces. A very thin film of this material is all that is needed! Each:
$ 8.95


NOTE: the following product(s) can only be shipped via ground transport (which thus eliminates the postal Priority Mail, postal Express Mail, or private carrier Expedited levels of service for this item) and cannot (and will not----don't even ask!) be shipped outside of the continental USA. Additionally, there may be a per-package weight or quantity restriction, and thus multiple-unit orders of this product may have to be shipped in separate packages and will incur additional shipping charges.

HCP20861 Aftermarket industrial-strength SILICONE LUBE, in a large 16-ounce aerosol can. Concentrated silicone sprays on wet, and then dries to a super-slick, clear, non-greasy, non-staining finish. Resists moisture, stops squeeks, prevents binding on all types of surfaces (wood, metal, plastic, rubber, even fabrics). Won't wash away, protect against rust and corrosion, stable from -100 degrees up to 500-F. This fluid is also a great choice for use as installation lubricant for o-rings, oil seals, etc. (similar to our HCP1714 or HCP28407 silicone grease paste) or wherever petroleum-based lubricants are not recommended.
$ 24.95



HCP9611 Aftermarket engine STANDARD GASKET REMOVER. This highly effective formula makes softens and dissolves gasket materials and adhesives, making for easy and quick gasket removal. Especially useful on cylinder base gaskets and side cover gaskets. NOTE: this formula will remove the clear-coat finish found on many engine parts! 12-ounce spray can. Each:
$ discontinued

HCP10492 Aftermarket cylinder head gasket high-performance GASKET SEAL SPRAY. This high copper content, high-temperature aerosol spray helps position and seal gaskets in place. Use to seal cylinder head gaskets, cylinder base gaskets, and even side cover gaskets in position (note: when using on side cover gaskets, apply thin film of spray to the engine-case side of the gasket only, and use 100% silicone lube on the cover side of the gasket. This method will allow you to easily remove the cover in the future, without tearing the gasket). Note that this is not the material to use with valvecover gaskets; for those, use the HCP3120 or HCP25092 material for flat paper gaskets, or HCP17198 for the molded rubber valvecover gaskets. Each:
$ 11.95

HCP17198 Aftermarket valvecover gasket HI-TACK ADHESIVE. This fast-drying, high-temperature adhesive helps position and seal the molded rubber valvecover gaskets in place. Comes in a 4-ounce brush-top can Each:
$ 9.95


HCP10491 Aftermarket engine case GASKET MAKER. This high-temperature, solvent-based bonding caulk forms a tough, flexible seal on irregular or uneven surfaces, is fuel and oil resistant, and is rated for 350-F degrees. Use to seal the upper and lower crankcase halves together. 2.7 ounce squeeze tube, enough to do one engine (you apply a thin coat, not a big dripping glob!). NOTE: you should review a service manual before applying this material to the engine cases, as there are certain areas (particularly around oil feed holes) that should never have sealer applied near them. See the bottom of page 2:

http://www.xjbikes.com/forums/threads/transmission-issue.59920/page-2#post-462239

NOTE: the easiest way to use this product is to squirt a small amount into the bottom corner of a standard baggie, and the snip that bottom corner a tiny bit; in this manner, you can then squeeze a small and precise bead right where you want it. Each:
$ 9.95

js44) Aftermarket dual-tip SEAL PULLER. Our large HCP9801 style puller features curved dual tips on a rounded head allows you to "lever out" large, thick rubber seals safely and properly, while the smaller HCP9961 puller works better with smaller seals (such as on your shifter side cover). These tools are a much better solution than trying to use a screwdriver to pry out seals as they eliminate the risk of scratching or damaging the seal land.

NOTE: in some situations, you can use the following technique to remove larger oil seals that would otherwise require case-splitting to remove. All large oil seals have a metal inner structure that you can (very carefully!) drill into and then pry out:

Anti-Seize Paste:

xx1) Fastener ANTI-SEIZE PASTE. Yeah, it's smelly and makes a silvery mess on your fingers, but this stuff is a life-saver for any true wrencher, because it prevents problems down the road. Use it on any metal fastener that does not require a "loctite" thread-locker material to be used. This means on just about every fastener that is carb, engine case, or suspension-related! (except for carb upper and lower rack-mount screws and butterfly valve screws, which do require the use of a thread-lock fluid). If you think that it might, sometime, in the future, need to come off: use anti-seize compound! NOTE: the "base" metal material used in the different anti-seize pastes below do not determine what type of fastener to use such pastes on; it merely signifies what base material is used to create the anti-seize paste. You can use any "based" anti-seize paste on any type of fastener and metal.

NOTE: the use of anti-seize compounds will result in a TORQUE-MULTIPLYING EFFECT……..the result of a reduction in fricition between the threaded contact points……and thus fasteners treated with anti-seize compound should have their torque values reduced by at least 10-15% when installed into steel material, and up to 25% into aluminum materials or other “soft” metals” (such as spark plugs into cylinder heads, or almost any other type of fastener into the engine) …… note that this rule applies only to service manual torque specifications on fasteners that are not indicated to be treated with anti-seize fluid by the factory …. if the factory manual specifies the use of an anti-seize coating, then the specified torque value for that fitting already takes into account the “reduced torque” necessary.

Thread-Locker Fluids:

xx2) The next most important tool: fastener THREAD LOCKER FLUIDS. Use on any fastener that you don't normally ever remove, to make sure that it stays that way. Comes in a variety of formulas, each one designed for a specific use as explained below.

Super-Penetrant Fluids and Lubricants:

Sometimes, the toughest part of working on a vehicle is battling the effects of time: seized fasteners, caused by rust, corrosion, and other factors, turns what should be a 5-minute effort into a 50-minute (or more) chore, complete with rounded-off, ruined, or snapped fasteners, e-z outs, heli-coil inserts, and more.........and that's just not right.

While the proper use of our various Anti-Seize products will prevent these nightmares from occurring in the future, you're stuck in the here-and-now, and the best way to handle these obstacles is to have the proper tools at the stand-by; and in the case of fastener seizure, the proper "tool" is a can or two of our SUPER PENETRATING LUBRICANTS at the ready; a couple of squirts, a little bit of time-----perhaps some heat for those really nasty situations----and you're on your way again, hopefully not too much worse for the experience.....

Great for use on all fasteners, fork tube cap bolts, intake and exhaust manifolds bolts, studs, and nuts, lock cylinder tumblers, or anywhere an un-cooperative fastener can be found. Can even be used to help un-seize frozen engines!

Be aware that these products are not your typical, garden-variety, run-of-the-mill "retail" type products; these are designed an used as industrial- and military-strength products, meaning they have special formulations that include a dollop more of the "good stuff" within them to solve the toughest seizure problems imaginable (the "good stuff" ingredients cost more, and it is those compounds that are left out of or reduced in concentration in "retail" level consumer products).

NOTE: the following product(s) can only be shipped via ground transport (which thus eliminates the postal Priority Mail, postal Express Mail, or private carrier Expedited levels of service for this item) and cannot (and will not----don't even ask!) be shipped outside of the continental USA. Additionally, there may be a per-package weight or quantity restriction, and thus multiple-unit orders of this product may have to be shipped in separate packages and will incur additional shipping charges.
