Hi all,

Does the oil pump recess get filled with fuel when running?

In the absence of any Threebond gasket maker I have sealed my oil pump blank plug with high temp red silicone gasket maker. My fault for being hasty, but in the small print I now see 'not suitable for parts which are subject to continuous immersion in gasoline'.

So, will my seal be compromised by the fuel/oil mix gushing up this hole, or can a silicone based gasket glue be used?

If it can't, any ideas how I would go about getting this plug out??

Cheers!
