So..... the sealant went from the top of the head, through the oil return down to the oil pump without getting stuck and then managed to get into the oil pump and clog up the oil passage?
Messy way to tell if he's lying take off the V/C and start the car. IF you see oil shooting out of the pushrod (or rocker if they are rollers) than the dealership is selling you dog $h!t and you are buying it. Don't ever trust the dealership mechanics. They are very dishonest about 95% of the time. The other 5% of the time they are taking a break and having lunch.

Dealers screw you so bad it's ridiculous. my bro-inlaw is a mechanic at a ford dealer and let me tell you much free S h! T i get. oil filters, brake kleen, 327's and 355 ring and pinion brand new, all the gasket sealer, any fluids, gaskets, and bolts and everything else i ever need. This is as long as some poor smuck keeps bringing his 5.0 powered car there. They charge people for full bottles of everything even with they only use a squirt. my bro garage is filled with so much stuff cuz he doest waste it all and it just stock piles up after a while. it looks like a god damn parts store...he has been there like 8 years but hey...might as well not let it all go to waste right?

+1 on the reusable gasket. Last forever and they dont leak. Although they are a tad expensive when compared to cork.

Well i doubt that can even happen. If you seal the VC's they are usually tacky within an hour. I assume you waited at least that long before starting the motor. WHen they are dry, no splashing oil will dislodge that stuff unless you got it everywhere. Even then, it would have to travel down the passages in the head, into the block, down into the pan and block nearly all of the oil pan pickup. If it makes it through that, it will lodge in the filter.
Are you running a Fram filter? Maybe it fell apart at 5 miles as usual and blocked itself? WOuldn't be the first time
