    I put on a new valve cover gasket and spark plug tub o-rings. I used
    permatex, high temp rtv silicone gasket maker. All it says on the tube is
    that it is completely cured in 24 hours. Does that mean it shouldn't be ran
    in 24 hours or will it be ok to run it?

    It's okay to run right away. It will be soft and goopy if disassembled
    before the stuff is fully cured, but you are just using it to ensure the
    gaskets won't leak at all.
