Regular RTV is corrosive and should not be used on aluminum parts. There are non-corrosive sealants that can be used, most are gray.
Also with the improvements in quality of modern engines I see no reason to smear RTV all over my gaskets. Usually does more harm then good. If you feel you have to have something, a light spray adhesive/sealant should be all that's needed. In any case RTV does not need to be full cured, just "setup", which only takes a few minutes. It used to say this in the directions?

Hopefully, it was Permatex Ultra Black. Permatex Ultra Black RTV is an oxime silicone (ref. Permatex Technical Data Sheet SIN: 834-300), which will not corrode aluminum. Oxime silicones are O2 sensor safe, as well. Permatex Black is an acetoxy-cure silicone sealant (vinegar smell), and can be corrsive to copper and aluminum.

I used the ultra black, let it set up for about 20 hours. Filled it this afternoon, runs like the dream.

+1 on right stuff. Have used it in MANY applications and it is true in advertising that vehicle can return to service Immediately. I even sealed my leaking windshield with this stuff
 Have used it on valve covers and other components that only use an "RTV" type gasket with excellent results.

Back to the originall question...
 ON the water pump I only wait for the amount of time it takes to put everything I took off back on. If you have waited over night you are just fine. |
