Three Bond 1211 works well but the white color is a bit drab. I would prefer something blue like the factory stuff.
Features and uses
1211
Low viscosity, fluidic, and excellent workability.
Can be used with solid gaskets and it can be used for temporary fixing of O rings.
Corrodes copper and copper-based alloys. Can not be used for copper and copper-based alloys in tightly-sealed state.

now you see my sidecover gets copper sliped and neither if or the tensioner ever leak whilst i can't gaurantee anything with the rocker cover!
i wish they had put a screw in that front left corner and made it an 8-screw cover.

Off topic, but I use three bond 1211 on my side cover, no leaks... I've used grey permatex on my rocker cover w/o leaks. With the three bond, I'll let it set for about 15 minutes before putting on the side cover. The permatex sits for as long has it takes me to finish the job and place the rocker cover. The three bond sits 3 days prior to starting the bike. The permatex sits for 24 hours.

Try the hylomar ,its like grape jelly & can be used immediately .I have used it in aviation for 25+ years & also on a ton of other stuff. I heard it was invented by rolls royce .

rolls royce? possibly but woulkdn't you put your money on it being their aviation division?
seems agreed by most that you leave it for many hours (overnight?) before starting the bike.
i think the 'howzyama' is underated, perhaps coz it's been around sooooo long!
i found some 'iceberg blue' stuff on a cover last week that had set like rock - no leaks. don't know what it was but it had a blueygreen look.

the best i have used is loctite gasket forming liquid ,wash and dry surfaces apply immediately ,i personally dont start bike for 24 hrs after, will remain a liquid until air has been squeezed out no leaks
The blue stuff is made by SKF, I haven't bought any for a while now, but is is the goods.

no worries about excess goo going hard falling into the engine and blocking lil oil galleries.
like pit###### says it hardens when in environment with an absence of air and in a thin film. so unless its trapped it won't harden. the excess is diluted by the oil and flushed out next change I guess.
bike can be started imediately if needed. I use it on the shock res and MV taps in forks as its not really really stupidly strong like that green stuff wot WP use but it keeps the charge in imediately.
lots and lots of lovely goos available all good stuff.

i just lost my confidence in three bond. found it wrapped around my strainer. all other compounds have dissolved. i realise that there are those that will say "you used too much" but i suggest its a thin line and i'm usually good with this stuff.
