K Seal???

Message Topic Search Topic Options Post Reply Create New Topic Printable Version Translate Topic

   After a few sessions of fettling by Mr.Baxter the bus is running nice and tidy..new vac advance,dizzy,leads,rotor arm,plugs,carb stripped,timing set,tappets done etc,only to be told on my last visit that I now have a slight head gasket leak!!!
Not being the best spanner monkey I always believed that this was terminal as in "fooked" but having read a few posts on here a few people have mentioned this.....

Does it do what it says on the tin? Do I have to do a coolant change? Are there any detrimental lasting effects?

	K-seal won't fix this. You may need to be signed into facebook to view that, if so have a look at the brickwerks facebook pages in the photo section, under the folder "workshop"

	It continues to amaze me that people still think shit like this can offer permenant solutions to gasket/radiator and other leaks. Get me home!.......until I get paid.......I'm looking for a way to drive to the garage....etc etc that's it!

	K seal won't work on head gaskets as a permanent cure. But if anything will work K seal will, it has certainly saved few Ford tractors with their porous blocks.

	You would be better off sticking a donkeys knob end in it or a tin of blacking held together with a few long stands or a few rocking horse turds Edited by UAP1 - 18 Feb 10 at 15:32
