Matt G. I believe I was the first to use the Neoprene years ago on the hydro mount. It has worked well for years, never had a problem.
BUT, I did try it on the rear gasket cover on the rear end and was not happy with it. I left a lot of material exposed inside the rear plate and the constant exposure to the hydro fluid caused it to swell and eventually I had a leak.
I think it works well for the replacement of the hydro mount gasket and any swelling there will prevent any leaks.
I would not recommend it for pan gaskets or rear covers.
I wonder if your material flaked due to being dry. I put some material in a container of hydro fluid and left it for years and when I took it out it was intact but had swelled.
I agree with you I would be cautious where I used that material
