Hi Scott,

It is always best to play it safe. Pull the sensors out and plug the hole
(an old spark plug will fit). Heat up the motor a few times to make sure
everything is burned off. I always do this with a new motor start up as you
never know what paint or sealant will burn off.

Subject: [DeTomaso] Ultra Copper RTV and O2 Sensors


I searched the archive for information about Ultra Copper RTV Silicone
and all the posts seemed very old. I recently purchased (OK, actually
my wife gave it to me for Christmas) the Innovate A/F ratio system
that includes bungs and O2 sensors. I removed the exhaust manifolds and 
had bungs welded into both collectors. I'm ready to reinstall the headers 
and plan to use gaskets and Permatex Ultra Copper RTV to seal the headers 
to the heads. I talked with Innovate and they said to run the car to burn
off
any RTV because it will kill the sensor. Ultra Copper says it's sensor safe.

Anyone have any experience....good or bad..... with this application? I
don't
want leaks and I don't want a dead sensor.
