Raley Posted April 7, 2011 Share Posted April 7, 2011 Id just bite the bullet and do the gasket. Any temp fix usually ruins something Fixaflat fracks valve stems and id guess the hg sealer would be bad on the water pump Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Turtlehead Posted April 8, 2011 Share Posted April 8, 2011 They might work temporarily (each car/leak is different), but the biggest question is do you want to run the risk of clogging the heater core with a coolant head gasket treatment? That job is just as expensive if it were to clog. Replace the gasket IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mattcadieux1 Posted May 5, 2011 Share Posted May 5, 2011 In my experience block sealer is a joke. The Only time Ive seen it potentially work is when the Leak is minor and the Sealer just prolonged the Vehicle for a couple months. Its a patch, and that is with small leaks..... medium - major leaks.... forget it. If you do decide to go this route though do not buy the cheap stuff, you should be spending anywhere from 35-50 dollars on a Can of it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
