A year or two ago, a tech replaced a Genesis V8-4WD short block
Pull it all back together and went home. Big job.
Next day he started the engine and oil was leaking from the oil pan and front cover +++, silicone did not dry and harden. We had to take it all apart again!!
A few other techs had the same problem with oil pans, minor repairs.
So we started testing gray silicone, some were ok and some were not, bad batch???. No trust anymore, so we changed brands...
