I'll most likely get the killerB oil pickup like most of you when I drop this pan. Would resealing the oil pan introduce new sealant material in the oil as well? Curious if you guys waited 24hrs before it cured to start driving around.

Being FI, I've been saving but now debating if I should get rid of it. I double checked the engine VIN to make sure someone didn't swap in a 2013 engine so I'm good there. I have a 2015 engine in a 2015 car woohoo. If the Blackstone UOA comes back with just silicon levels high that's the best case scenario right now
