Will probably do my Valve Cover Gasket, and possibly my Tensioner Gasket this weekend.
Anyone know if its recommended/advised to use RTV Sealant on the Tensioner Gasket at all?
Also, I bought the RTV Sealant from GAP (expensive stuff!) -- it's labeled as <a href="http://www.gesilicones.com/gesilicones/am1/en/grade/mastergrade_kit_one_part.jsp?masterGradeId=737&cat egoryId=16&typeId=&submitFormNameFromRedirect=mast erGradeDataSheet&dataSheetURL=/documents/datasheets/35.html" target="_new">'Silicone Rubber Adhesive Sealant' RTV-1473Q by Momentive</a>. Whats the recommendation on the Sealant after you put everything back together? Is their a recommended setup time to wait before driving the car? Or can you start driving right away? The tube has no directions that indicate if a wait time is needed.
TIA.
