Can I ask a dumb question?  What is “RTV”?  I can’t find a decent definition of it on the web.  

Thanks,

I used a high temp red RTV designed for use with aluminum. It can be    

found at most auto parts stores.  

Don't use RTV designed for use as tub and shower caulk, this usually    

contains acetic acid, which is corrosive to metals. You can usually    

tell the difference by the smell, acetic acid has an acrid smell like    

strong vinegar.     [quote][b]

Room Temperature Vulcanization, such as with silicone rubber, by using a

chemical instead of heat

It's a silicone rubber sealant. RTV stands for room temperature vulcanizing. There are several varieties sold by several companies for various purposes from bathtub sealant to electrical assemblies to engine adhesive-sealants. The stuff I used is designed for use as a high temperature sealant for aluminum engine components. Locktite is one of the brand names for this stuff.

RTV stands for Room Temperature Vulcanizing so it  covers a huge range of products that essentially "air cure" so you must choose  the one that fits the application,
