Default RTV question

So hypothetically lets say i'm short one bolt off of an exhaust header i'm installing, So I have one bolt on the exhaust port tube but one is missing, if I make sure I get a good RTV seal going on would the missing bolt cause a problem?

Hey, not all of us are rich like you! We cant just decide to go and buy stuff like you.

Oh, I think I'll sell my supercharger and get a twin turbo. Oh, I think I'll just go buy a bolt for my header!

Yeah, like it's that simple.

I've found that a good wad of bubble gum helps in these cases! Usually the Hubba Bubba original flavor works the best. However if you are in a pinch, Big Red or Juicy Fruit works temporarily. Do not use Big League Chew tho, That crap just blows right out and the bang from the bubble popping is ear shattering!
