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

I've used holts wonder weld before on cracked heads and blocks with good results.mind you don't now if it would hold up whilst mapping.

I put some K-Seal in my lad's Corsa as it was using water somewhere, and the leak seems to have stopped

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.

K seal gets good reviews/feedback. The factors I use sell a lot of it.

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

Yup, K seal it.


A mate is a mechanic and has had a few of his customers with older cars with headgasket problems and are past economical repair. He has used it and the cars are still going a few years later.

Well the heater matrix is leaking lol, i was just thinking id do it get it home but dont look like its fit to be driven rely ive been asking around all day about a block/bottom end so see what comes up as people point out its going to be a weak spot now anyway

Zetec turbo time perhaps.

its true abut that k seal stuff it blocks things up



steel seal if bloody awsome though, its a iluminlous green liquid but about 30 quid a go, ive used it a couple times

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
