Can Toyota's 103 FIPG silicone be used in timing chain cover?

We haven't had to use that, what i can say about the sealant we get from subaru is that it actually begins to cure very quickly compared to others.

There are different formulations of sealant depending on what is being sealed- coolant, oil, transmission fluid all have different requirements.

It's not just the effectiveness of the seal itself- it's the resistance of the sealant to breaking down, and dropping nasty bits into oil galleries, for example, that's important.

Now, since the #103 FIPG is specified for crankshaft covers among other things, you should be fine.

Just an update on the sealant. So far so good. If any leaks. Its probably minimal. I thought it was leaking again, until I noticed that the leak was actually coming from the oil temp sensor
I just tightened it back up, and out a little coat of silicone around the bottom of the timing chain cover.
