Just curious if anyone has heard of a product called Steel Seal. Apparently you pour it into your rad and let the car run for 30 mins and its suppose to fix bad head gaskets or cracks in the cylinder head. Has anyone ever used this stuff? I have a beater that has a blown head gasket it and i honestly dont feel like ripping into the car to replace it. Im kinda curious if this "steel seal" will work. Anyone have any feedback or thoughts?

I have absolutely no knowledge on this product, but I know a lot of other similar products for similar problems tend to "gum" up.

Well I guess if its not working now, it can't get any worse? Worst case, you will have to clean it more when you tear into it to replace the headgasket later.

Lol, or he gets to clean out all of the coolant passages, radiator, coolant hoses, heater core, blah blah blah.

I can't imagine that **** will seal anything, I'd just fix it the right way.

I never said it would be fun! lol

I would just do the gasket too. It's not that bad.
