No Worries! The amount of surface areas that require sealant are significant. The amount of sealant used and the manner in which it was applied is excessive. This resulted in globs of sealant dangling from the interior surfaces of the engine; Upper Oil Pan, Timing Cover, and both Valve Covers, that could let go and enter the flow of engine oil today, tomorrow, next year, etc...
It would make sense to drop the pan, remove any debris that made its way into the pickup screen, and remove any other debris that you can find. However, these globs of sealant are often tucked into places that are hard to inspect. For instance, they can be all around the inside of the timing cover, most of which you can't see well from underneath.
With this product you can install it today and worry less about those chunks of silicone that were waiting for their chance to clog your OEM screen.
