[QUOTE="fastmover83, post: 12684, member: 194"] I used some stuff called Seal-All, it's gas and oil resistant, but it didn't say anything about brake fluid, but it seams to be holding. The guy at Honda said they probably used a form of Honda Bond, but wasn't sure. According to the instructions on the tube, Honda Bond 4 doesn't harden and the old sealant was hard like shellac, I also bought some Permatex Indian Head Shellac, and Honda Bond 4. Before using the Seal-All, I spread some on a piece of Aluminum bar, let it harden and then put it in some brake fluid to soak and it seemed to hold up, so I tried it first, if it fails I'll try the other stuff or maybe make some kind of gasket. I also should mention that you don't want to try to remove the valve body from the bracket/backing plate while they are still on the bike as the parts inside are under spring pressure and you could loose some non-replaceable parts. speaking of which there is a little slim washer under the big spring, that serves as some sort of valve, so be sure to remove it before you blow out the passages with anything under pressure or it could get lost. And in case someone forgets how it goes back together, the Plastic end of the small spring assembly, goes in towards passages of the valve body and the aluminum plunger goes against the backing plate. You also want to dip the plunger in some brake fluid so it will go in easily without damage, and it should go without saying, if you get any brake fluid on the mating surfaces clean it with some brake cleaner on a rag before applying the sealant or you won't get an good seal.
