I think (no sure) that I mistakenly grabbed the RTV silicone specific for thermostat housings and smeared a little of that around the water jackets between the intake and head. It has a warning not to use on a head gasket or near parts that contact gasoline. Although its an intake gasket and technically not a head gasket should I be concerned? I didn't use much at all, just enough to make that gaskets a little tacky that I do recall. Its a fuel injected car and I was about to fire her up, so it'll be another 8-10 hours if I gotta do it all over again (I'm slow).

I wouldn't be worried.

what brand of rtv was it?and the color or part number. i think if it was dried for a while it would be fine tho.

naw, no sweat.

it hasn't been a problem so far, it has run great. thanks!
