Silicone can be attacked by oil, but generally it is quite resistant.

That heavy grey silicone sealant I see on Nissan and Mazda transmissions never shows any sign of degradation, even after 150k in contact with hot gear oil. I really doubt the oil pan oil would be much worse. It'll certainly last longer than any FD motor will ever continously spend in the engine bay.

The rail arrived yesterday. Perfect as usual. With it sitting next to my secondary rail, I wish I had sent both rails to you for sandblasting. Ahh well, maybe I can find someone local to do it. Thanks again.

How long does it take to set? Does it get somewhat hard or does it stay tacky and somewhat soft and rubbery?

What about the one for imports?

Well with all the build up threads popping up here and there, I figured mine would just get lost in the mix. I haven't taken many pics of the progress, but I will once everything is complete.
