I’ve been glueing engines together since 2006, Mercedes has been doing it a whole lot longer than that. I’ve never blown one up, never wiped a cam, nothing like that. Never even seen it happen to someone else.
Plenty of bulletins out there for over application, warnings in work instructions to clean thoroughly and not drop pieces down holes. You try to be as careful as possible, but I’m sure I’ve left plenty of strips of the stuff in there.
If it drops to the pan it will either get stuck in the strainer, not a big deal until there’s a lot of it there. Or blown though the pump to the filter, also not a big deal until there’s a lot in there.
The concept isn’t the problem. Engines that haven’t been worked on aren’t blowing up going down the road, and they’re all glued together the same way before and after the recall. Or at least they should be.
