@TheLebnoah you can use your motor after a couple of hours, but it's not recommended to go all out in everything from a couple of days to 2 weeks.

There should be some info on the package of the gasket and sealant.

Locktite says 2 weeks for their products.

@digitalmixer ur releive fuel pressure usually by pulling the fuel pump fuse while ur engine is runing.. let it die.. and then try to turn it back up it.. usually it wont because all the fuel pressure is gone because the fuel pump is not pumping any fuel.. just make sure to have some type of shope rag on top of it jus in case it does leak.. good luck
