I won't have much in the way of silicone sealer in my new motor, but I know its hard on o2's. I don't want to hurt my new WB o2 on my FAST system. Should I worry?

EXTREMEMLY worried, unless you like $400 paper weighs.

A SNIFF of silicone from 100 yards will kill a WB.

Run the engine and run it under light load for like a 100 miles to get all the crappe out. Carbon particles are bad on them too, so break in oiling can be an issue, it's much cheaper to real careful.
