Hi guys thanks for reply...I think my thread is mixed...I have no temp. problems with the vehicle...temp is steady no wild flucution ...just pretty sure I need to do LIM gaskets ..as yes I have lost some coolant ( can smell it when I shut the van off and walk past) ...but my question is that I will do this job in my garage that is below room temp...and your are using RTV on the ends of the intake ..correct..the RT part being room temperture ,.I just want to make sure this stuff will set proberly ...or am I old school thinking
