For me, it's not so much the sealant as it is that it's dispersed like toothpaste, like it's his first go at it. The second issue is my engine had oil changes at the 1/2 interval, ran very strong and has matching numbers. Some of you guys may call this next part lore but my dad, (46 year head mechanic at his own dealership) always said: It's best to keep the original motor transmission together if you can. In his experiences he told me sometimes engine swaps just were not as crisp as rebuilding and joining back together what has already run together for a number of miles. He built race cars and could have gone to Indy if not for his kids, I'm going with his call and fixing my engine unless it has irreparable damage.
