Hondabond vs. Ultraflange sealants; know the difference
updating...in progress
This thread is intended to shed light on the whole Hondabond misinformation. Despite what you may or may not have been told, Hondabond is NOT used in most the applications/installations you may think it is. In fact, I am having a hard time finding any situation it is called for. In my experience, Hondabond is more for sealing threads on bolts rather than really sealing two mating surfaces.
Almost all cases where a liquid sealant is used, Ultraflange II sealant should be employed. Know the differences! It could mean the difference between oil staying in, or leaking out, of your engine.
When in real doubt, ask first or use ultraflange, not Hondabond. The service manual is the final word on which is correct for any given application. If you find applications not listed below, please post them and i'll update as necessary.
