Any reduction in volume and flow has an impact of some sort no matter where it is in the stream.

That side is fine. It is one of the many places the oil drains back to the pan. Perfectly ok.

What goes in has gotta go out and if it doesn't go out properly it does not go back in properly.

We can continue this circular argument for ages but neither will change our minds without more proof from one side or the other. If one gallery was plugged that bad what did the rest of the engine look like? I was not saying that that single plugged gallery was the cause but it wouldn't take to many other such plugs to screw up flow. The sad part is that it could show perfectly fine pressure but still be starving the engine in critical areas. If somebody can show something that changes my mind I am open to it but I will not waver from my stand until something more probable is put out there.

Anyone have any clue how they apply the packing at the factory? Is it done by humans or a robot? I think I'd trust the robot more. Hahaha

WOW! What a read.
Two things I have taken away from this recent conversation and references, is that, number one, I would never attempt to take this engine apart and put it back together. The second thing is that I would never trust this engine that anyone else has taken apart and put back together. When and if the internal parts of the engine in my FR-S fail, someone else is going to have them a car, screwed up engine and all. humfrz |

I have about 310 miles on mine and so far so good. After reading that thread Tcoat linked to I'm not convinced I'm out of the clear yet. I've gotten under the car to look all around to make sure I'm not leaking oil anywhere and everything is spotless so far. It will be nice not having that leak near the bottom right of the timing cover for a while. |

I bet you will have no trouble. I get a strong sense of attention to detail in your work. The trick to this sealant is all in the prep. Any contamination, even a fingerprint, will compromise the joint. I built up a couple leaky engines in my teen years.

Buy a gasket set, take the engine apart, put on new gaskets and put it back together. No leaks, no pieces floating around inside the engine humfrz |
