Oh and I have a garage without heating and there is minus 15 or lower constantly outside. Will it affect sealant and gasket for drying too long or even freeze?

I don't envy having to work on mechanical items at those temperatures I tend to forget that skin freezes and sticks to bare metal surfaces 

If the sealant is able to flow from the tube then I would worry about moisture/frost on the metal surface preventing to sealant from sticking and slow curing times.

Do you have an electric hook up for a crankcase heater? Is there any other way you could get a bit of heat under the engine for a few hours?

Never mind the temp, I'll do it anyway. Heating is not an option due to garage built year (made of wood suitable only for shelter not much more)... I've just changed oil, filters and antifreeze to few coworkers in -15 degress, it's not cold if you work. It's colder if you're staying there watching.
Will give it a go ASAP maybe even next week hopefully

A big cup of coffee, maybe a cup of hot tea and absolutely I need to "just have a look into" home made "schnaps"  See, no heating required for me
