Loctite 5900

The one thing I will say about hondabond... if you have to go back in to reseal.. which will be a long time if you did the job right, it will not be easy to remove. 5900 if that was what was on there before when I did the last job, scotchbrite and its gone.

5900 is black & harder to remove than Dri-bond which is clear.

Hmm the stuff that was on there must not have been 5900. Probably some type of cheap sealant, as it was a black sealant with a soft jello consistency

I don't like it but it did work as good or better than any other compound I ever used. The 3.6 engine took me about 3/4 of a tube. after 7800 miles I have no leaks what so ever

Good lord! I just had to remove my valve covers to re-time after a couple of weeks with 5900 setting up. Why use bolts? The 5900 was not letting go! It does not set up like RTV. and once the covers are off, a hard plastic scraper removes it from the aluminum, but gettnig the covers to pop free? I thought I was going to break them.

You won't find a Raby engine with 5900 anywhere on it!
