[DeTomaso] Yamabond

[F&D Terry]

Will,

The only place a sealer such as Yamabond is used on the ZF is between 
the front and rear cases. This is because these cases are a zero or 
metal to metal fit and they should be joined without using a gasket. 
Internal clearances depend on the zero fit. All other mating surfaces 
use a gasket.

Many sealers are appropriate. Yamabond sets fairly quickly and I have 
had better success with something from a local outboard motor shop that 
is used for sealing the crank halves of an outboard motor. Locktite also 
makes an excellent sealer for metal to metal assemblies.
