Gaskets
« on: October 04, 2020, 08:51:04 AM »
Had some work done on the starter clutch.  The gaskets were replaced but nothing was applied to them.  I know they say nothing is needed but THEY LEAK.  Can I re-use the gaskets after cleaning them with acetone and then applying Honda Bond?

Pretty sure, if they are in good shape, I'd be concerned why they leaked, check all the surfaces, maybe even dry fit it without the gasket to be sure it lands all the way down.

If the work was done properly and CLEANLY there should be no leak, you paid for it take it back
