In addition to the room temperature vulcanizing (RTV) sealant's sealing capabilities, the RTV sealants may form an adhesive bond between the components. This may make the components difficult to remove or to separate. Pry points have been provided in the components that utilize RTV as the sealing system. Pry points are positioned so they can be used without damaging other vital engine components.
