I don't use Hondabond there, but rather a light coating of Permatex Super 300 (or Permatex Aviation). Same with the breather pipe gasket. The cam blanking plug I seal with JB Weld.Would it be a idea to use Honda bond on the rear main bearing gasket ?

Not all wave washers are created equal - the reason I specified DIN 137B is because they are thicker and stronger than your average "bought at Home Depot" wave washer.
Actually my 75 850T has the two bottom holes drilled through as well. I know this is an old thread but seeing as I’m right in the middle of doing the same thing as our thread author I’m also researching replacement ideas for the Metal lock tabs.On some of the year 2000 engines the bottom two bolt holes for the rear main were drilled through and not blind holes. Oil would travel the threads leaking out. I would clean the holes well and use Loctite 242 to seal the threads. It wouldn't hurt to use it on all of the bolts.
all leaks will be a thing of the past.
Agree Charley, I only use hylomar on gaskets. For the bolt holes on the rear main, Loctite 242 is my go to. It will seal the through holes, and help to lock the others. Also heat is not required to remove bolts where 242 is used.Since the cam plug will likely never be removed for any reason, JB Weld will be fine. It's what I use on all of the engines I build. Hylomar is my least favorite sealer of all time.
