Blade...
it doesn't take long for the RTV to set up. just needs to get tacky before assembling everything according to the instructions on the gasket maker. once you apply it, i'd say give it 20ish minutes to set and then put it together.
for the bolts, MACE has addressed this and everything is good to go. but what you can do, is run to lowes and get some 8x1.25 nuts (they are either 8x1.25 or 8x1...don't remember). once you put the spacers on the IM, use the bolts to ensure proper alignment then tighten the nuts (not grape ape gorilla style) while the RTV dries. once the RTV is set, the bolts can be removed and the insulators will remain attached to the manifold...makes it much easier to reassemble.
if you get hung up or have any other questions ask or feel free to hit me up on PM.
