Okay, I feel like a dumbass for asking this, but you don't put gasket sealant on throttle bodies, right?! I'm already sure you don't, but I'm just looking for a little validation.
Thanks guys. I'm a dipshit!! Jon -------------------- 1991 Talon TSi FWD 2.0L Turbo

I've had a few friends that have blown some internals from gasket maker (rtv) It was a very pretty site is you ask me  Chris [/quote] What internals where damaged...and how was it attributed to the RTV??? I can't believe some rubber in the intake/exhaust track would cause any real damage. I would think that a couple hundred pounds of seat pressure would pound the snot of it before it hung a valve. Any RTV that made it into the oil should get filtered out by the oil pickup and oil filter before it got back through the engine. -------------------- 92 Eagle Talon TSI AWD "The Black Golfball" How fast can a 14B go???
