to rtv or not to rtv?


how does everyone feel about rtv do u like it, hate it, or just dont give a damn?

some say dont use it because u dont see brand new cars with rtv all over the block and head. and according to the haynes and chilton they say only part that should be rtv'd is on the back of a small 350 block on the rear main seal.

some say rtv everything for extra protection, and it cant hurt, to add a little dab here and there, some people put it on their oil pan, valve cover , waterpump, cam seal, exhaust manifold, wherever they can.

some say if u cant duct it { that means duct tape } fuck it.

so what do u say.........
