    Yes it is.

        Its looking good, I will be very interested as you continue to rebuild. I am getting ready to start rebuilding the top end of mine. I took a long break, removing old gasket and cold garage demotivated me.

          I've used this stuff on several motorcycle engine and top-end builds with no clutch issues at all.

          I like it because it's thick and sticky, and the bright red color makes it easy to see if you've completely covered the parts. If it takes a few weeks before you're done, it's not going to run off the parts.

          I don't believe it's moly-based -- it's a reddish, translucent fluid with no particles (no need to shake). Moly particles generally make fluids black and opaque, and require shaking (or a thick, pasty texture) to ensure the moly is evenly mixed.

          That said, I'm sure it contains friction modifiers of some sort that could be a problem for wet clutches. But you need to use so little, it doesn't actually make any difference. You might use something like 1/8 ounce per engine if you're being overly generous.

            Yes gasket removal is not fun! I got some of that gasket remover chemical....it was a total waste of money! It is finally warming up here and I have the jugs and clutch on at this point. This weekend I hope to have the head painted and installed. I did nothing to the head, but clean it, as the bike only had 7000 miles on it.....had a spun rod bearing as a result I believe of the design of the engine combined with an young, idiotic PO that did not change the oil and hot-rodded the bike.

              Thanks for the info. As you can see from the photos I used it. Did not need much. Will be breaking out the bottle again shortly when I install the cams.

                  Thanks! Cleaning, prepping, and masking seem to be the most drawn out process of this project. I have been masking off the head for way too long!! Will post pics when I have it painted.

                    When I first got my bike I took it down to my buddy's place because he has a HUGE shop....and he used to be a bike mechanic. His house is 1.5 hours away. Anyway the plan is to get the motor buttoned up and down to his place by the weekend after this one. Sadly the Chrome battery I ordered yesterday showed up damaged. I have an email into them and am hoping for the best as I have not heard great stories about them. Need to get all my poop in a group before I make the trip to get this beast running again.

                    Here is what I did last night.....

                      As I finished my other post I got a response from Chome Battery! It took them less than 12 hours (overnight) to let me know that they were sorry for the damaged product and they would send me a new battery today! Nice!!!

                            You sir need a project thread.

                            That engine looks good, though!
