I have a question for those out there that have replaced their water pump, cam cover gasket, etc. When searching through the 700 FAQ...the use of RTV is recommended, such as at the cam bearing cover corners and water pump seals. I am going to be doing these jobs soon.

I am ready to use a little dab here and there as recommended, BUT what type of RTV do you use that won't contaminate the oxygen sensor? In that section of the FAQ it states not to use RTV anywhere near the intake or head area of the engine to avoid fouling the O2 sensor. Looking for a good brand and type that hasn't given folks trouble.

Thanks.
