That stuff is actually very strong once set. if applied in a long section it will stay long so the "snake" if exactly what would be expected. The strainer is meant to draw oil from all 5 sides but the main part is of course the center. Keep in mind that you don't have to complete eliminate the floe to cause issues just drop it below the critical level. Even just blocking the center and reducing flow by 60% (an out of my ass guess) could be enough to starve a bearing and send it spinning.

Ya that picture shows pretty clearly how the ridge will concentrate and then chop off any excessive or poorly placed sealant.

Oh that is a rare one. Usually only found in vending machines in dive bar washrooms.

I was due for an oil change so I poked my crappy old borescope in the pan. Plenty of excess RTV. Not as bad as that above example from the Toyota tech, but still.
Subaru is in for a rude awakening in the next year, going to be a lot of pissed off people needing new engines. How the heck did the factory fail this badly?

Maybe if it's sped up by driving hard it's slowed down by driving less. Part of me thinks the smart move is to flog it and try to get it to fail quickly so you get on the list for a new short block sooner, and part of me thinks the smart move is to keep the miles low and drive nicely so you get in on the (probable) recall repair and have the car OOC for a couple days instead of weeks/months. The biggest difference between the two for me is just having to deal with another break-in period. Oh, and to the question about why the bead comes off as one long snake - that's a function of the way the material is shaped. When you squish too-large a bead of sealant between two flat surfaces and create that rope/snake on the inside edge the weakest point is where it meets the part of itself that's squeezed between the two surfaces. You have a sealant gasket between those two parts that prevents leaking, and then you have fat bead attached to the inner edge that has a lot more strength and surface area than the rest. As fluid moves past it there's a small amount of force applied. If there's enough movement, or enough "rope" surface area to create enough force to begin to pull it away from the thinner "gasket" part of itself you begin to multiply the problem. A gap appears and that rope not has even more surface area and can be pulled into the deeper parts of the fluid current where there's more flowrate. This pulls more of the rope away from the gasket, which creates more drag/pull on the rope, and so on. Basically, the snake/rope is practically perforated along that line, and easy to tear free at that point. It's not until it gets sucked into moving parts that it's likely to get chopped up. |

I agree that driving it harder will definitely expose the problem sooner, if there was one to begin with. With a partial blocked pick up, the oil pressure might still be suffice to meet the demands of the low RPM operations. But that will not be the case for high RPM use. It can be a very slow death for someone who never flogs their car pending on how bad the block is. I wonder if this will actually be a recall item. That is a lot of labor for something that "might" be a problem. I think TCOAT mentioned that this was a incident with the early 2013 cars, did they ever do a recall on then?

IS this considered a design flaw?
Seems like they designed the sealant area with a very tight tolerance...which is usually ideal is it not? I guess its just the nature of the sealant, just like in CPU's where you only need to place a dab of thermal past on the center of the CPU before placing the heatsink/fan, and not a whole goop covering the entire CPU....which actually performs worse for heat transfer. |

Do you have confirmation for the demise of your engine? Blocked oil pick up? Or its still being investigated by the dealer?

Would blackstone oil check be able to verify that before a bigger failure?

^You should be able to see any chunks of sealant in the oil...however it does look like most of this stuff is light enough it's getting pulled up into the pickup and not lingering in the pan.

Possibly, but if you are getting excess bearing material in the oil you are probably already screwed.
