i have not driven it for a week or so. came out this morning and the ground is covered with Dexcool. opened the hood and top of intake is soaked [:@], of all times when it's freezing out !

 

Somehow breakdowns never happen at opportune times.

I do not see any questions in your post. Let us know if you need any advice. There is a thorough How To from D-tips.com that walks through this for the 96+ folks.

 

sorry forgot to include my question,how is the temp. being in the low 20's going to effect the drying of the RTV sealant ? any suggestions on a using thread sealer if any on the intake bolts ?

 

You may want to let it setup longer. If I were you and had some time, I would let it set for two days before doing anything with it just to be sure.
