IMS Guardian

I have dropped my sump and found nothing just wondering if this sealant would be a one time accumulation or can it appear later in the engines life....

So, how much sealant is too much and what would be the right way to seal? I did the guardian and used Loctite 590 around the outer edges of the plate. About 1 mm or so think. Did notice they squeezed out when torqued but have been concerned some may have made squeezed into the inside.

I believe this is Loctite 5900 - correction for making this thread searchable in the future.

Loctite 5900 comes in 50ml and 300ml sizes (very expensive). How long will the 300ml last after it's opened?

Are any of the Permatex black RTV products a suitable equivalent?

It can appear at any time. There is no way to know when the excess sealant will pull off.
