swami2806 Posted May 17, 2004 Share Posted May 17, 2004 Hi everyone..I'm new here. I signed up a while ago, but never had to post b/c I always found info I needed by searching. Anyway, the girlfriend has a '98 legacy w/ the 2.5. I'm doing the infamous subaru leak chase, and just got the oil pan back on. Question is, the RTV I used for a gasket says it sets in 1 hr. and fully cures in 24 hrs. When can I put oil in it/ start it/ drive it? Can I do this now (an hour passed) or do I wait 24? Thanks in advance, --Jim Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sweet82 Posted May 17, 2004 Share Posted May 17, 2004 I used RTV in a diff and used it within an hour w/o any problems. For what its worth, Glenn 82 SubaruHummer 01 Forester Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
swami2806 Posted May 18, 2004 Author Share Posted May 18, 2004 Thanks Glenn...but an oil pan will get a lil' bit hotter then a diff. --Jim Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
THAWA Posted May 18, 2004 Share Posted May 18, 2004 I'd wait the 24 but thats just me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
