"Block Seal" or something similar

Can anyone point me at the discussion earlier this year on a "magic" block seal product that can help solve leaky head gasket/porous casting problems please?

I've searched and cannot find it.

Maybe I just dreamt it....who knows!

Regards,

Steve

Hi Steve

I can't find that post either but we are finding good results with K Seal made by kalimex , we buy ours from Unipart Auto & it seems to work well. recent successes both 4.6 & 2.5d P38 range rovers & 1.8 Freelander. All these vehicles to do a proper job would be more than cars worth!!!

regards

pete

Thanks Pete.

I want to try some on my Clio which I use as a cheap runabout. It's had 2 head gaskets already and now its heading for the scrapyard if K Seal fails!

Regards,

Steve

Hi.

The thread you're referring to was regarding 'Steel Seal'. I have yet to try it but there were mixed feelings about it on the thread.

There were lots of testimonials on the 'Steel Seal' website. Might be worth a try!

HTH - Paul.

Thank you Paul.

I have now searched out these products on the Web - I couldn't before because I had not got a clue what they were called.

Steel Seal is more expensive but the maker claims it is the best product of its type - but then they would say that wouldn't they?

I'll give one of them a try and let you know what happens.

Regards,

Steve
