Ok bearings are ordered. I plan on ordering loctite 648 for the bearings and know I need yamabond for the cases and seals but am not sure what number To order. Any suggestions? 

Grey silicon is great case sealant too, semi rigid, has not failed me yet.

Like the 100% silicone caulk from Home Depot?

I prefer the Three Bond 1280B gray formula for case half assembly, and i'm pretty sure it's also the same stuff also known as "Yamabond" .

I would use Yamabond 4 on the center cases, I would not use any Silcone based sealant as gas can eat it. On the clutch cover or a gasket I could get to easily it wouldn't bother me but on crank seals and center cases yamabond only and have never had an issue. I too think 3 bond and yamabond are the same.

One thing to keep in mind some of us are older and set in our ways, there may be other stuff out there as good or better, we just use what has worked for us.

As for the lower bearing puller, I made one based on the motion pro puller, it works like a dream, I don't have a photobucket account but if some one has one and wants to post it I'll send pictures of it.

The four stroke engine: That's one stroke for producing power and three for wearing the engine out.

The upper pic is a standard puller.
The bottom pic is the one Don made.

Thanks for sharing.

which bearing are we talking about?


I too think the yama and 3bond are same thing.


I use only the yamabond... due to the better "applicator tip"... and its impervious to gas.


no sillycone for me  read the link to find out why...

The lower roller bearing for the clutch release arm.

Thanks for the picture don I was toying with the idea of trying to make something myself on my really old screw making lathe. I was even thinking about just running the shoulder off if my smallest blind hole puller.

From the Yamalube site-

       
< Return to All Adhesives Products
Yamabond® 4 Motorsports
A silicone-based liquid gasket that fills gaps on a flange surfaces, when cured (sets in 60 minutes), this product forms a rubber-like gasket that resists high temperatures and seals joints, gear- and engine-oil resistant, Use where the service manual specifies "Threebond 1215"

still a silicon :wink:

Like I said to each his own use what you like, There is a difference, nuff said.

There is a shaft going down the center of the puller  to expand the cuts at the bottom

Here's another pic of Don's blind bearing puller showing the difference in the usable length
