Replacing right crankcase cover
Can someone please help me out, i recently had a leak from a pretty deep scratch on my crankcase cover (right side) i went ahead and ordered the new crank case cover and when doing so a technician told me he recommended i get the gasket seal as well but i dont wanna spend more money than i have to, so my question is can i use seal maker tube when placing the new cover on? Will it give me any trouble ?

I agree. I use anaerobic sealants regularly but if there is a gasket for the application, I'd use it.
If you feel like trying it, buy a tube of Hondabond and have a go. Worse case is you have to take the cover back off and put a gasket on.

Actually, worse case would be oil dripping out and coating the edge of the rear tire. Or maybe globs of sealant floating in the oil.
Either way, why jury rig a job that could be done factory spec for so cheap? Its just wrong.
