Fairly permanent. Once fixed it shouldn't need to come apart unless it needs a major engine overhaul.Rockburner wrote: Fri Feb 06, 2026 7:58 pm Permanent join? Or something that needs to come apart in the future?
This, I use the Suzuki branded one, recommended to me by a couple of people who build race enginescrust wrote: Fri Feb 06, 2026 4:47 pm I am firmly in the three bond camp.
Tried all the others, bought some Ducati bond as it was on offer loved it, won't pay for the Ducati name bit now but deffo only use three bond
I believe that Yamabond is the badge-engineered version of Threebond that Yamaha market. Open to being proved wrong...
You're correct, but a different type to the Suzuki one, the Suzuki one is literally a Threebond box with a Suzuki Genuine Part sticker on it. Yamabond used to be (and probably still is) very good for two stroke crankcases, which are direct metal to metal joints.mangocrazy wrote: Fri Feb 06, 2026 10:47 pmI believe that Yamabond is the badge-engineered version of Threebond that Yamaha market.

Does the Yamabond version still carry the '1215' name, or is it different (implying a different formulation)? I thought that vanilla Threebond was pretty good for metal to metal bonding anyway.Le_Fromage_Grande wrote: Sat Feb 07, 2026 12:17 amYou're correct, but a different type to the Suzuki one, the Suzuki one is literally a Threebond box with a Suzuki Genuine Part sticker on it.

Has this car got a Lux Interior?
Or maybe it's lined with Fur?

Every time I've used Threebond it's done exactly what was required of it. I doubt you'll find anything better.Rockburner wrote: Sat Feb 07, 2026 10:46 am I'm now wondering if I should be looking at something from Threebond for the JAPton... I was just going to use Blue Hylomar.
As long as it comes off when required, 100-ish year old magnesium crankcases don't need any extra agro!mangocrazy wrote: Sat Feb 07, 2026 10:51 amEvery time I've used Threebond it's done exactly what was required of it.

Magnesium poses a different set of questions, and I'd be looking for a Technical Data Sheet before committing. But John Hackett works on some pretty exotic stuff and the race bikes in particular use a lot of magnesium, and he swears by Threebond (although it may be the specific Ducati flavour).Rockburner wrote: Sat Feb 07, 2026 10:54 amAs long as it comes off when required, 100-ish year old magnesium crankcases don't need any extra agro!mangocrazy wrote: Sat Feb 07, 2026 10:51 amEvery time I've used Threebond it's done exactly what was required of it.

The vehicle in question is in very Good Taste and is entirely free from Garbage, Man.
Depends how much you want it to leak oil, my experiences of Hylomar weren't great, but I stopped using it 30 years agoRockburner wrote: Sat Feb 07, 2026 10:46 am I'm now wondering if I should be looking at something from Threebond for the JAPton... I was just going to use Blue Hylomar.
Well, it's designed to leak oil, so I'm well aware that I'm up against it somewhat...Le_Fromage_Grande wrote: Sat Feb 07, 2026 11:35 amDepends how much you want it to leak oil, my experiences of Hylomar weren't great, but I stopped using it 30 years agoRockburner wrote: Sat Feb 07, 2026 10:46 am I'm now wondering if I should be looking at something from Threebond for the JAPton...
