Justi fitted a standard exhaust. Pipe sealed with silicone. How long before I start motor?
 

Just fitted my standard exhaust to my pointy and sealed the sleeve pipe with silicone. How long should I wait before I start the motor? I don't want to blow the silicone out but it's a good day to get things done.

it dont take long to dry, leave it half hour or so?

What kind of silicone, was it proper gasket stuff, if so give it 15 mins for a good seal as long as it is just to check for air leaks.

I used bathroom type silicone. Meant to take 24 hours but it's such a thin layer in there.

not long at all.

Thanks fellas. It's gonna get longer to dry than I thought as I have to de-spike the alarm and possibly re-program the remotes. Bloody alarms.
:(:)

I'm probably wrong but aint that just stuff waterproof, not heat proof :confused:

nope you spot on wont last long at all, use the oven silicone, or some of that instant gasket

Correct, you may as well coat the joints in chocolate. Proper gasket silicone is the stuff to use.

Whoops! I'm sure someone on here told me it was fine to use. Says on care sheet it goes up to 140 degrees so I'll give it a run and see what happens. (When I've got road tax of course.)
