What sealant are you using to seal the case? Just RTV?

I was looking at

Permatex 80019 Aviation Form-A-Gasket​

There are lots out there to use. I have used with great success, red rtv. I have also used clear rtv. I do prefer the red cause i can see where it isnt better. The key is that you dont use too much. A very thin layer is it. Not a bead, not a gadket thick but very thin. If not it can squeeze into the engine and it also can squeeze a bearing too tight.

I like Dirko HT, easiest to clean up if (when) you have to take something apart and start over.

Working my way through the totes with parts from October, today I opened up a bag and found this:

@heimannm PM 8200, the two bolts in the crankcase on the outside instead of four gives it away. The gray color helps lol.
Happy Thanksgiving All!

Addition to the Mac family, Thoes 7-10 are some of my favorites,

 

[matt_lamb_160]

I think the 7-10, 6-10 etc. are the best all-rounder. I like my SP81 and my large frame saws, but I think the 7-10 wins for me as a package. Strangely enough though, my favorite out of my saws is actually my 2-10; but, I did warn it that I like my 7-10 so it better behave or sink to number 2 .

I have a soft spot for any McCulloch with a RH start and a push down decomp in the handle (like my 2-10) so I have to get my 6-10 is running properly.

Yea , I like the 7-10’s over the PM700 , there strong saws in a smaller package,

A local fellow emptied his truck in my shop a week ago Saturday, there is a 7-10 in the mix...

I’ve never run a 7-10 yet. I bought my 700 new in 1988 and have taken excellent care of it still has the original 28” bar on it. It is a strong running saw that will pull the 28” bar and a sharp chain thru oak with no problem. What’s the apples to oranges comparison?

 

[heimannm]

In an unofficial side by side comparison, my old 7-10 with new rings was noticeably faster than a really new PM700; I think the cant may have been oak or hickory...

Definitely do. Even just for the weight
