Finished off the pan with some brake clean to make sure all the old loctite dust was out of the pan and that was it. I let the new loctite cure for 24 hours and it hasn’t leaked yet so I think I’m in the clear.
I would let the pan sit for a few hours before trying to remove the loctite from the groove in the pan. It seemed to soften up again when exposed to oxygen, as it’s an anaerobic compound. It started breaking off in big chunks towards the end and I suspect it’s because of the exposure once it was off, my two cents.

Awesome, that’s good to know. Thank you.
Also how much loctite did you use for the install?
