" fast-hardening silicon sealant" yeah, it's wrong.

I'd upvote Permatex, I liked it more.

It's the second one, non-hardening.

Anyway, I was told this particular sealant is indeed the correct one and I will not have issues with it.

But other than that, it will be a miracle if the engine works. Too many 'bad' things happened to it that the likelyhood is simply lower and lower. Just a few more days though.
