In the last 2 rebuilds, both 750 Commandos engines I only used gasket sealent (3bond) under the barrels as recomanded in the workshop manual, but when rebuilding my own 850 I always used the base gasket, I am rebuilding a mate's 850 engine and just about to put the barrels back on so am wondering gasket or just sealant, the 750s are still oil tight after a few years back on the road and no problems with the base leaking using the sealent, my 850 has never leaked oil in 40 years of ownership and 3 pull downs but have always used a base gasket, so what is other rebuilders doing, gasket or sealent, barrels going on Friday afternoon so plenty of time to decide but thinking going the no gasket way, your throughts please.
