I know this topic has been aired plenty of times. I just wondered if anyone has had success with using a sealant (like Permabond 130) instead of the rubber O ring? On my 500 Twin I've tried just about everything - larger size O ring, sealant and no sealant, had the face of the outer case shimmed (surprisingly it was bowed outwards creating a gap in the centre, which it from where it still leaks). Using a torque wrench I've tried low tension on the central bolt, starting at about 8 lbs, checking for leaks and then trying more rising to 14.
I suppose the inner case might be deformed.
Anything I haven't tried? (positive suggestions only please).
Thanks
