Panicking a bit - Too much Sealant?
Hello - Just dropped and cleaned the sump in my 1999 Saab 9-5. The work took me 4 hours (mostly because of the exhaust) and in the end I attached my freaky squeaky clean sump, filled up with new oil.
The problem: I went a little overboard with the Anaerobic Sealant. There was (quite a bit of) sealant coming out of the seam around the outside of the pan after I had finished, so it occured to me 3 hours AFTER I put everything back together... There is almost 100% certainly some sealant (Permatex 51813 Anaerobic Gasket Maker) beaded along the inside of my oil pan to engine block junction. Summary & Questions: 1) Anyone who has put loads of sealant on, has it caused problems? 2) Anyone who knows whether or not Permatex 51813 will harden (therefor become a cloggin risk) when submerged in oil? Or will it just stay soft and be filtered out? 3) Anyone who has dropped their sump and found chunks of amberish/orange hardened anaerobic sealant stuck in the screen? THANKS for your help in advance. I hope to be able to drive to work tomorrow! Stephen |
