yeah, rtv sealant.mogs01gt said:you mean RTV seal? If its in the cylinder, it will burn that up.
RysRed96GT said:i was redoing the pi intake and i accidently dropped a small piece of the rtv stuff down an intake port. i got a vacume and spent about 5 minutes getting it out. it isnt down there, and the valve didnt seem to be open. but if something tiny did get down there, mainly this rubberish rtv, could that damage my engine?

i think i'll be fine. i checked it with a flash light and nothing is in the port or by the valve. and it was an already cured piece (i was removing the old rtv from the first try), so it wont dry to anything.DBMSTNG said:if you can't find it, pull the head. you could damage a valve if any of the sealent gets in the wrong spot. if some of it hardend on the cylinder wall, it might hurt a piston ring.
good luck

wow, i havent posted here in a long time eitheramnit:
If you're really that worried about it, just turn the engine over by hand, (you'll need a power bar with an 18mm socket on the end of the crank) until you have the intake valve closed and the exhaust valve open. Then just blow it out the exhaust port with some compressed air through the spark plug hole.RysRed96GT said:i was redoing the pi intake and i accidently dropped a small piece of the rtv stuff down an intake port. i got a vacume and spent about 5 minutes getting it out. it isnt down there, and the valve didnt seem to be open. but if something tiny did get down there, mainly this rubberish rtv, could that damage my engine?
