How long after you install the new pan with the sealant should one wait before re-introducing oil to the pan? The set time for the sealant? ~2hrs

Not positive on the DIY, but I should have some pictures; pretty straightforward I think. I could not find any specifics in any of the TSBs, so I asked Loren a couple questions, and I have the torque values for the bolts.
- start the oil drain on Friday afternoon
- remove pan Saturday morning
- prep both surfaces for sealant
- mount new pan; torque to spec
- let it set overnight
- add oil on Sunday
