Very cool, I’ll keep coming back to see your progress. I love the sound of a wankel.

And maybe cylinder if price is right. Must be NOS. Thanks guys.

I have actually used 1104neo and liked the slower set time, but after some time In fuel turned to a puddle of mush - I had hoped the 1184 was better, but I don’t suppose so! Motoseal stayed solid and that’s why I stuck with it. I’d be curious to see if anyone with 1184 can cure a thin sample...

Just checked both msds sheets for 1184 and 1104 neo. It’s the same product but 1184 has one less chemical (thanks to California no doubt). I can get 1104 neo here.

Anyone willing to sell / send me a couple tubes of Threebond 1184 you use in the states? Online postage says it’s like 60 Australian dollars! Surly it can’t be that much?

Fascinating, thanks Kevin! I wouldn’t use this in place of cylinder base gasket, But maybe it would work? Depending on how flat the surfaces are. However it may also just blow out. I’d love to get a tube of 1184 and try that but it’s not sold in Australia. Sounds like it has much longer...

I agree about tuning by ear, hearing were the saw wants to be is the best way. Though, that does take experience and time and for someone new, it can be daunting. I made a video for my channel on the topic about tuning by ear. If you can buy yourself a cheap tachometer I think it is a worthy...

Good to know, thanks Randy! I’ve never tried Indian head shellac, I’ll do some googling.

For anyone using gaskets anywhere, I can’t recommend highly enough “permatex aviation form-a-gasket 3” on them all. I see people using motoseal or threebond on gaskets, but I can assure you, you’ll much prefer the above. No need to rush to get parts together as it doesn’t dry, you can remove and...

W Would you use hylomar on the outside of metal oil seals?

Just did a quick video re Dirko and fuel resistance

How do the 034 supers do compared to the 362? Side by side?

My post was more to show how really any of the sealants listed (besides the last two) will be just fine. :) none are perfect, it’s all a compromise and you should have good luck with any. I’d personally start with Dirko, but as others have said, so many others do work too.

It’s worth noting, no sealant we use is designed to be submerged in fuel. You’d never use any of them to patch a gas tank for example.. they’ll either dissolve or soften (if they are chemical cure like motoseal) or expand and or shrivel up (if they are silicone based). People say Dirko HT Red is...

I have heard good things about Hylomar, though I’ve not tried it yet. It sounds like it’s used in similar applications to “Aviation form-a-gasket 3”? I use that on every gasket, it’s very good. Like hylomar it doesn’t cure, and its very sticky, but I allows you to remove gaskets without a problem.

Sure, so motoseal isn’t a gap filler to the same degree as Dirko, which in certain circumstances is a great thing. There shouldn’t be any gaps for it to fill between case halves. However I put together a Stihl fs55 clam shell strimmer with motoseal, followed the instructions, very clean surfaces...

Dirko - never let me down. I do have a tube of motoseal, but used once and it failed.
