Loctite 574 sealer

I have a question about residual case and cam hosuing sealer on the inside of the engine. Is it safe to run a motor a day or two after a rebuild? I'm sure the sealer that sqeezes out into the engine is safe
and will not clog oil ways etc. but just want to make sure

Unless the instructions on the Locktite say otherwise, you should be perfectly safe after an hour or less (read the instructions).

BUT - The factory manual specifically states something like "apply sparingly" or "use a thin layer" or words to that effect. So, hopefully you haven't used too much!

Assuming you haven't used an excessive amount of sealer, a day or two is far more than enough - good luck when you fire it up for the first time!

Cheers Roger,
The loctite bottle I had was in German so I hadn't a clue what it said. Probably fire it up next week. Still waiting on my cam grinds from Motormeister. I reckon I used just enough sealant as the small bottles which most say are 'just enough' for one engine finished after I sealed the second cam housing. Let you know how it goes next week.
