DO POUR-IN HEAD GASKET REPAIRS WORK ?
1. Yes, pour-in head gasket treatments do work. Very well indeed. The technologies involved are proven. In a few cases, the crack or hole in the head gasket may be too big for them to deal with.
2. In our experience the performance, and effectiveness of head gasket repair products are almost exactly the same. Manufacturers are, of course, keen to say how wonderful their own product is.
The main difference, though, between the products is ....
(a) How easy to use the product is.
and (b) The price.
3. If a product can repair a head gasket, it will specifically say so on the bottle or package. Some cooling system products use flowery language such as ".. all round cooling system treatment.." If a product is designed to repair a head gasket the manufacturer will very definitely say so.
At Swift Motoraids we state whether a cooling system product can be used for small leaks, large leaks, blown head gaskets, cracked engine blocks.
4. Head gasket repair products divide into 2 types; sodium silicate, or ceramic.
a. Sodium silicate chemical technology. Otherwise known as liquid glass. This liquid has the property that when it is heated, at around 210 degrees Fahrenheit (100/105 degrees C) it transforms into a type of glass. As it transforms, the sodium silicate seals the fault in the head gasket. From that point on, it remains as glass, and stays that way.
Sodium silicate has one disadvantage. In its liquid form it reacts badly with antifreeze. This means that when you use one of these products, you have to drain your cooling system, refill with fresh water, apply the product, run your engine, leave to cure, and at the end ... refill with your normal antifreeze/water combination.
The sodium silicate product that we offer is Seal-Up.
b. Ceramic technology. This works in a different way, and creates a ceramic bond in the crack or hole in the head gasket. It is anti-freeze friendly. This technology is much easier to use.
The ceramic product that we offer is K-Seal.
K-Seal is the best available head gasket repair product. It combines performance, ease of use, and low price.
5. Products designed to repair head gaskets do not block cooling systems.
