Just found out my rst has a cracked block its currently at a tuners being mapped
Dose this stuff work out need to stop it leaking so it can be mapped then i can build another cvh bottom end
Reading internet reviews it seems pretty popular in the states

Clogs your heater matrix if used in the water system doesn't it, maybe best blocking the heater matrix until the sealant has been used and flushed out.

I wouldn't waste my time, I would get a new block sorted and begin again. Rubbish news though.

No point carrying on if the block is cracked, you only risk more damage.

Steel seal is realy good,
Its expensive but worth paying the extra for
I hada taxi with a cracked block pouring water out,
Stuck a bottle of steel seal in and its still fine 25k later
Used it in another couple taxis with dodgy headgaskets and its wored evey single time
When i 1st heard of it i thought it was a gimick,
But Ive been proved wrong,
That said i would have to recommend building anew engine then getting that mapped

We have steel seal at work, haven't used it yet but that k seal is really a get u home solution as it does eventually block things up like thermostats and heater matrixes etc. To be fair if
Your driving an old car where a repair is more than the cars worth then it's gotta be worth chucking a bottle of jollop in and see Iong it
