my radiator on my old commy had a split in the tank and i was topping it up at least once a day i used a radiator sealer i cant remember the name of it but it had little pieces of copper in it. worked great howevr that was on my bunky commy ute so i didnt care about blockages. but i reckon the loctite one would be great especially if its only pin hole sized

There is one in a clear plastic bottle called Car Go Metalic Seal Up , search the web and its available through Ripco and Super Heap for ~ $11 .

I have used it for a cracked head and can vouch that in a rebuilt lowish Km engine it didn't clog radiators or damage thermostats or water pump seals . This was a flat fours aluminium head BTW .

      What should I do next to hold the head on

      By Gareth87 · Posted

      I can see between the water jacket and cyl 3 there wasn't a hard line of combustion gas. It certainly appears that the issue is coming from there. Yes, checked the tension. All at 100ft lbs where I set them 5 years ago. These blocks can crack but generally when they have been over bored. Mine is only 0.5mm oversize at 89.5mm. They break between cylinders around the 91mm mark. No sign of that with mine. My gut feeling is the head gasket lifted a while back when the studs stretched and i bandaided it by retorquing the studs. It's finally let go.

      So, version 4 intake is on its way I was looking at these a while ago but at around $200 or more it was a little pricey for something that might not work, but, I had it in my watch list, but, I got a message saying it was on special, and I had a code thingie to use, it eventually came in at $120 delivered, so BAM, BUY NOW.....LOL I'll need to have a look when it arrives but I feel it will "look" better than what I currently have, as it comes with a PCV fitting, so I will be able to get rid of the alloy pipe that goes to the throttle body with the PCV fitting  Well, that's what the voices in my head are telling me  Oh, and this happened today Yeap, it was a Trojan, and it was cheap, so I headed back to the hardware store and actually spent a little bit more on a heavy duty,  one that was actually recommended by a plumber mate, a Cyclone one with a fibreglass handle that is actually rated for clay The broken shovel will eventually be "modified" into a short handle shovel
