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

[Robert Coffin]

Correct , plus there are now O2 sensors that can work with racing gas as
well...
Frank Parker may want to chime in here , as he has lots of experience with
these ...

  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.
