    RTV Silicone dry time?

    Hi all,
    Ive just used some RTV silicone as a sump gasket, how long should I wait before I refill the oil?
    Thanks

    yep, that stuff dries fast and works wonders, after you wait for it to dry slightly before puting it back together you've already done most of your waiting, i have used it on oil pumps with oil still in the motor, and driven the car shortly after puting the pump back in place without any problems.
