How long does it take for sealant to harden up completely?? Maybe the engine should not be filled with oil nor started for 24 hrs after the recall???

When I have used it on other engines/parts we usually wait double the instructed "cure" time. Just to ensure the stuff is fully cured before exposing to fluids/heat. However, not enough cure time isn't going to make the FIPG magically fall out go away etc as said above. The clogged tubes are result of either not properly cleaning of old stuff allowing it to get in places it shouldn't or over application.
