I was going to post a prediction that this engine will spin bearings as a result of RTV in oil pump pickup. Way too much applied here. You can see rows os squeeze out. Ultra Black would be much better in smaller quantity.

One of my least favorite shake my head moments is seeing that people have used sealer, or tape, on flare fitting.
