    Hello everyone
    I’ve recently swapped engine in my cbr, from 2011 to 2016 one, decided to change valve cover and install new gasket too, first attempt was unsuccessful and had a little leak on half moon spots as I didn’t put sealant on, now I have put some sealant on those spots and through entire gasket
    How long should I wait for sealant to cure assuming it’s winter, temperature drops to 0 during night and it’s pretty cold at the moment in UK?
    I’m using Triple QX gasket sealant

    Instructions doesn’t say about cure time, I was trying to find some info in google too, but nothing about that particular sealant, I read that RTV sealant fully cures in 24h in room temperature, I guess I will just wait for few days to be 100% sure that it has cured
