I have yet to find a product this cheap that works this well. 12$ a tube and it is better than the permatex right stuff and VW sealant that is 40$ per tube.


It's RTV but thicker, and you can sculpt with it almost.

I used a very light layer of it on my intake pieces. This was after removing the dead paper gasket from the phenolic spacer/intake manifold gasket on my 1.8l L-jet. Snugged down the 13mm nuts on the studs and barely any visible bleed out. It's thick so it will not compress out like RTV unless you torque on it very hard.


I guarantee this seals better than any brand new intake manifold gasket.

Not original/concourse but I could not see spending 8$ on a new gasket to get another plastic phenolic spacer with paper attached to it that sucks.

You could easily do an oilpan gasket out of this, it is much easier to work with than permatex right stuff, which I had used in the past for gasketless sealing.

We all know standard RTV sucks and compresses out, does not stick etc.

Pick up a tube for 12$ and see for yourself, most honda dealers have it or order it from the internet.


If I missed the memo on an equal or better product for this price or cheaper please let me know.

Opinions, and your favorite sealants and stuff for these jobs?


I want to add, this stuff rules so much the sealant creep effect on compression was so miniscule there is no way it would creep into the intake ports.... like the RTV over the dead greasy/oily paper that was on there before. Also, all surfaces should be super clean. I wire brushed the head surface and held my shop vac next to the brush/ports to suck debris up then vacuumed the intake ports back out as well.

Hondabond or hondabond HT? I hear this HT stuff is thicker, like a gasket maker vs. a regular RTV viscosity/thickness. I looked up the temp spec and it's like 600 degrees. Doh says it on the tube!


I know guys using it on oil drain gaskets of turbo cars that see well over 500 there, and it still does not fail FWIW.

Stuff seems to be great and useful all over.

I plan on using it to seal my trans cases back together on my VW's and the 914.

I have used the HT for my oil return tube gasket on the T3/T4 turbo on the old Civic. I have used the regular HondaBond on the oil pan gasket corners and the valve cover corners on the DOHC cam covers.

Never had it fail or leak on me. I wonder why I have never used it on the Type IV.....

Try it. I am going to be using it where applicable all over the Type IV.


To be honest, in a weird way I feel like this stuff has been missing from my toolbox for years and I am being reunited with a soul mate or lost love. It made me smile working with this stuff last night and seeing the potential.

I have been let down by about every other sealent due to cost, compression squeeze out and etc.

If you had a Type-S with a Borg Warner S366 you could get the asian girl of your choice at the local shows.

Who needs a Type-S when you own a classic Corvette?

Classic Corvettes usually don't draw out the underage asian chicks!

This.



Sorry dude, I like old corvettes, but you could maybe pull in some 80's metal chicks with that.


The ratio of hot 80's metal chicks to worn out 80's metal chicks is in favor of worn.


RSX needs more turbo, and more i-vtecs.

Ummm, why would I be interested in "15 will get you 20"? Sorry guys, don't get it. Besides, I own a Vette and a 911 not because of whom I can impress with them. After all, if I wanted to impress, I'd buy a C6 convertible, not some 30 year old relic with 30 year old paint. I bought my classics because I enjoy driving them.

...and to get back on topic, I will definitely keep Hondabond in mind. I think it might be useful if I can figure out where the RSX taillights are allowing water to get in them.

Only way it's going to get more turbo is if my mom decides she's not going to keep her Civic any more... that would become my daily driver and the RSX would become a toy. Even then I'd have to consider selling it and start looking for a "real /6" though.

All of the above.


Add in no moving passenger side seat, and a motor that costs more than some surgeries to rebuild, while still making 300hp or so at most.


Oh wait, don't forget the 6 prestige. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/lol-2.gif)
