I'm wondering which products you guys recommend for sealant for base gaskets, crankcase use, etc. also, what, if anything, you add to dry gaskets? Thanks!

That's a lot like asking "what's your favorite booze". Everyone has their favorite. For me, it's Loctite 515 or Threebond 1184. I use it on just about anything that sits still too long.

Permatex Ultra Black... Probably not the best, but no failures for me yet.

Dirko if it's good enough for Stihl it's good enough for me.

Loctite 518 is the best I've found.......it ain't cheap though.

I used yamabond once. Worked good. Then next time i needed it i coukdn't find it so went and bought a tube of loctite 518. I like it more just cause it's easier to work with. Will only use 518 for now on.

For anyone that does give the 518 a try......be sure to allow it to set overnight before firing up the saw.

Every saw i have done gets done slow and usually waiting for more parts before fire up so i have been lucky cause i did not know that.

Have you found any local places to buy it or is it a internet order only kinda thing? I have never seen 518 on the shelf anywhere so I just wondered.
