gaj1917 Posted April 24, 2016 #1 Posted April 24, 2016 Split the cases on my '84 recently to fix 2nd gear failure. I'm now ready to reassemble the cases and am not quite sure about where to apply the sealer. The service manual is slim on detail, but does warn about making sure to get sealant around "case stud holes". There are lots of those, assuming I understand what a stud hole is. External ones I get, but some are internal, where there wouldn't be any concern about oil leakage. I'd appreciate any advice that members might have. I've watched the VMax videos. No mention there of stud holes.
ChurchBuilder Posted April 24, 2016 #2 Posted April 24, 2016 Google "vmax engine rebuild". There are two videos for the complete assembly. He covers everything you'll need for reassembly. It helped me a lot. Sent from my XT1254 using Tapatalk
gaj1917 Posted April 24, 2016 Author #3 Posted April 24, 2016 Watched those videos. Excellent, but they didn't mention doing anything special with stud holes as per the XVZ service manual. Something different in the XVZ vs VMax? I assume that you've gone through the cases-sealing process following the video procedure. No problems I gather.
ChurchBuilder Posted April 24, 2016 #4 Posted April 24, 2016 They seem to be identical as far as the cases go. I just spread yamabond on with a small stiff brush staying away from the bearings and oil passages. I don't remember what I did about the stud holes. Nothing social I think.
