Oh I see now. So now it will only leak temporarily. Then you get to peel it all back off and do it the right way.

And I'm getting real tired of having to get that stuff off...If I had used the cork it would not be a big deal. Pull the bolts and go. Now I have (with what i got) a PITA job of getting the FIPG off, AGAIN! (again = 4th time in less than a month?)
The fact that you're having to pull an engine 4 times in one month speaks VOLUMES about your mechanic skills. Now things are starting to make sense...

Great. Ya put that crap in your engine. So it will gunk up the oil pump, filter, oil galleys, etc. Might as well just junk the engine now...
