Danger from RTV?? Re: <VV> heating the oil

[JVHRoberts at aol.com]

There are sensor safe silicones out there. However, since this stuff isn't on 
the inside, where it can come in contact with anything critical, use of it 
should be no problem. 
Or, follow my suggestion and tack on some thin sheets of stainless. <G>

Bob and Bob,
    As I understand it, silicone rubber RTV used in sealing any engine parts 
can have a BAD effect on any oxygen sensor installed in the exhaust system.  
So, if you've got EFI or even intend to install it later, it would be wise to 
avoid using any silicon containing material that can ultimately end up 
fouling 
the O2 sensor used to control the EFI.
