Hylomar overnight=Engine builder question. Very important info
Can anybody say if I can use the Hylomar tonight and then assemble tomorrow as it is getting late. The directions say to torque immediatly. BUT that could be a selling feature rather than a warning. In other words
You don't have wait until it cures to torque.
vs.
You have to torque within a specific time frame or it will cure too hard.
What do you think??

Hylomar cures slightly... it turns gooey but not solid.
Personally I don't think it's a problem... I didn't know I couldn't let RTV Black sit overnight inbetween a housing, untensioned...
I thought it caused a coolant leak, but there was NO coolant leak when I pulled apart the engine... it sealed fine... the problem was... well, you know.

This is me tonight too. The engine is sitting in a cold garage half assembled.
I dont think it will cause ANY issues, as I let the front iron sit last night with the combustion orings hylomared in. Today, I realized the one seal was twisted, pulled it out, and reset it. Seems fine.
