Any reason not to swap out cover,washers,gasket from one engine to another? Instead of buying new ones.
check the thickness of the washer/grommets before using them. They compress over time and become unusable.Any reason not to swap out cover,washers,gasket from one engine to another? Instead of buying new ones.
I was going to ask you earlier Dean, what's the motivation for swapping the covers themselves, that seems like an unusual thing to do.So the head cover swap itself is no issue? Only dependent on the condition of the rubber stuff?
My right cover may be leaking a little, so I thought maybe I'll just pull the one off my unused bike (with half the miles). It was just to avoid the pretty expensive rubber bits, but I may just get them anyway.I was going to ask you earlier Dean, what's the motivation for swapping the covers themselves, that seems like an unusual thing to do.
Hondabond IIRC... same on the handlebar grips.Mine are, but I don't know what Honda used; nothing in the manual...
pretty much.methinks you have too much time on your hands Dean!
I never heard the term, 'engine sealer'. What is this? Similar to RTV silicone for engines?and further apply a dip of engine sealer into the corners, where the crescent-shaped parts meets the vertical surface (cause if they would leak, it comes from there).
...engine sealant is a general term pointing/referring to silicone based sealants dedicated for high temperature usage (contrary to products like window sealant, etc...) on internal combustion engines, whilst RTV silicone is a more specific term, mostly ID-ing a two-component (base plus curative) silicone rubber which is frequently used for creating molds/casts (dentures, model building...)...I never heard the term, 'engine sealer'.
