SPLITTING ENGINE HELD TOGETHER WITH HONDA BOND

[honda1]

hello I have an HRR216 VKC that I have to replace the governor that's malfunctioning but how do separate the 2 halves of the engine that are held with that HONDA BOND after you remove the bolts?
thank you in advance

Here's how to pop the block from the oil pan, and how to get them back together again:

i believe Honda uses this sealant instead of a gasket to join the 2 halves of engine block

More them just Honda uses anaerobic sealant. Been using it for years where a gasket wouldn't work because of clearances like putting cases together. It sound like they just put there name on it and call it Honda Bond so they can charge you more for it.
