Head Gasket In A Bottle...?

[megamac]

Who here has used the likes of K-Seal etc?

Does it actually work? Or does it jam up galleries and do more damage than good?

It's not going in a Subaru so don't stress, lol

Its rubbish. Sold it for years various brands depending on the customer preference. Rislone seem to be best or liquid copper. End of the day its just clogging up the system and hopefully the leak if its small enough. I have zero faith but if its a pos you just need to run till it dies it may help. Mate had a non turb bc which blew a head gasket then poured a bottle in every few months. Lasted a year or so then sold as is.

i have personally used this product on a legacy a primera and a 1 ton work digger and all are still going to this day . the primera was a deal . it was the one with red badges and factory blue with blue interior and a lsd front end . flat mate bought it for $800 blown head gasket . trteated it with this . drive it for 3 years . on sold it for 2 k .

annd its only $13

you have to get all coolant out of the system first tho . eg jam the garden hose on into the lower rad hose and make it a snug fit with a rag or summit run the engine for ten minutes

and once i put the stuff in in i make a coke bottle with the bottom cut outa fit tight in the rad cap so the water can expand . let the engine run for half an hour or utill it stops bubbling .

i also see they have this but it appears too good to be true as you dont have to drain or even fluch it after . it is $57 . but if it works you have saved a thousand

Oh right, yeah nah saw a WOF + Reg Camry wagon for sale on side of the road today. $500, 3.0 v6. But blown head gasket, was wondering what my chances were of making it drivable with this miracle liquid until my Legacy is going again... But probably not worth it.

Especially at $80 odd a bottle

Damn that's cheap compared to K Seal!

Fk might almost buy it now and just use this stuff till it fixes it lol

Tried Rislone Head Gasket Fix as a "last ditch" option on older cars a couple of times, actually worked pretty well and the cars it was used on are still puttering around. Doesn't require any flushing or coolant replacement, but you will have glittery coolant for quite some time.

Pretty expensive at retail pricing though.

For sure, Supercheap auto retail it at around $87 I believe..
