Hey guys, I just took off my throttle body to find my new throttle body gasket is absolutely DESTROYED. Either it was a crappy part or me spraying carb cleaner on it didn't do it any good. I can't get a throttle body gasket until like three days from now because the stores around here are rather slow. Would it cause any harm to the intake system to use blue, sensor safe RTV to form a temporary gasket until my new gasket gets here? I don't really care it it is PERFECTLY airtight, just good enough to prevent MASSIVE LEAKAGE. So what do you think? Will it cause permanent harm or will it be alright?

 

Sure. Let some of that crap break off and get sucked into the engine. You want to take a chance? Even if it works.

 

Why not just buy the paper gasket kit instead? Trace and cut it.

 

Ah I forgot about those, I'll look into it, thanks!
