Hi,
I have just replaced the valve cover gasket and when I read the instructions on that RTV silicone it says there that I need 24 hrs. for it to fully cure. So my questions is this, can I use the car after the cover is fully tight, or I need to wait until tomorrow? What should I do? Thanks!!!! -------------------- |

As long as u put a real valve cover gasket(rtv as a bonus) and not just rtv you can drive. If you just squirted rtv in place of a valve cover gasket(not recommended) you can't drive. |
