Title: Suzuki Bond 1216
Post by ridgerunner on 05/06/08 at 15:07:49

Does anybody know what gasket material I can safely use betwee the head cover and head. The book calls for Suzuki bond 1216 but I can't find it locally and I need it in a hurry. thanks

I used Permatex Ultra Copper High Temp Silicon. Good results so far.

Got it at Auto-Zone, but it should be at most large chain Auto stores.

Used very thin layer of high temp silicone seal. Not a drop of oil for the last 5700 miles ;)

Oh yea.... make sure you clean the surfaces of grease & oil. Alcohol (rubbing not drinking.... ) on a paper towel works.

If you use a spray (brake cleaner / carb cleaner) , watch where you spray. Some of the sprays have solvents that can damage rubber & paint.

I just got my tube in last week. I got it from the stealership and they charged me $20! It's just the size of a tube of toothpaste!

Thanks for the info. Guess I will try the silicone stuff. Just hope I can get it on thin enough to not get in any of the oil passages.

i cut the bristles down to about 1/4 " on a acid brush, a cheap brush used by radiator shops to brush on acid to clean while soldering. Bought a bunch years ago from Harbor Freight and toss em when the start to lose the bristles. Max

+1 on the Permatex Ultra Copper. It's pretty easy to get back off, too.

The first stuff I ever used for this job was ThreeBond 1104 (due to a recommendation from my dealer). The stuff worked great, but was a real b*tch to remove later. Therefore, I do not recommend ThreeBond 1104 for this application.

IHTH someone!
