Hi All,
Quick question, tried the search but it wasn't definitive. Is Blue hylomar to be used on the gearbox gaskets and is there an alternative? Guess that's 2 questions....
Thanks

Hi Scott,
Lots of alternatives, but in my humble opinion Threebond 1211 is best sealant for gearbox and engine gaskets.
Stick your head under any engine or gearbox I have built, for proof!

Personally I prefer loctite / permatex aviation gasket adhesive No 3 on paper and cork gaskets.

Don't forget to seal the thread on the bolt with the through thread into box
