Steel Seal BHG repair

[Sawbladz]

I found this site by accident. Thought it was kinda funny. Apparently its a "miracle" BHG repair that you pour into your rad. :nuts:

There is also a video...its kinda long but you can skip through most of the talking.

Yep, that's some top grade BS right there. That's just a product designed to steal your money. Kinda reminds me of some of the radiator stop leaks, those can be pretty harmful to you engin. The metal flakes adhere to the passages inside the radiator and restrict the flow, and sometimes block them completely. That would result in overheating.

I'm guessing this shit is similar. :bigun2:

This is what you look like when you charge $3000 for a head gasket repair...and pour this crap in instead.

WOW!

Just imagine if something like this REALLY worked. We would be rich from all the HG repairs we wouln't have to do.


This is crap though.

It fixes warped heads .. it can UN-WARP a head? ok scotty beam me up.. geez :yelrotflm

 

[NewWestSupras]

perhaps a group buy? Maybe we can buy it in bulk and everyone can use it. Sorta like preventative maintenance. (snicker)

 

[starscream5000]

Hey I got an idea! Let's buy a bunch of the shit, turn around and sell it on ebay for a jacked up price, then use that money to buy ourselves new HK$ stopper gaskets!

They're advertising that crap for shops!? This is just one more motivation to do work yourself. You never know what kind of shortcuts the shop might make...

 

[starscream5000]

^ +1 for doing it urself. The only things I'll ever let a shop do to my head and block is the milling and getting them down to RA spec (plus oversizing the valves 1mm ).

There's this one stuff I used a few years back, it wasn't bars leak, but it was liquid copper shit you pour into the radiator (following the directions of course) and it did, temporarily fix my BHG for about 2 weeks.

I dont recommend using it unless you just want your engine to last a week or so til you get a whole new engine. The stuff clogs up water ports and whatnot.

 

[TurboWarrior]

To me this stuff shouldn't be allowed to be sold. Even if it did fix it (which would be temporary) It would just allow people to rip off a buyer.

 

[swaq]

What I want to know is how it plans on fixing the fact that water/coolant has already leaked into the combustion chamber. Even if the head gasket gets sealed you're still going to have major problems... The rods, they knocking! :icon_razz

Maybe someone with a junky beater should try it out and report?

From the site:

For best results, do not use on vehicles with the following symptoms:
-Over three inches of coolant in the oil above the full line on the dip stick.
-If you have oil in the water.
-Losing more than 1 quart of coolant every 5 minutes out of the tail pipe.
-If you experience a lot of air bubbling in the overflow tank or back pressure-see additional directions below.

:aigo:

But if you have only 2 inches of coolant in the oil and are only losing half a quart of coolant every 5 minutes then you're A-OK. :icon_razz
