I used Blud Devil gasket sealer last year on our 2006 Honda Accord LX. I was trying to figure out why anifreeze was spewing from underneath the reservoir cap all onto the engine. Changed the cap, changed the reservoir, changed the little reservoir hose...still the same thing. Researched and read it was head gasket going. Oh hell no I wasn’t paying $1,200 plus for that. Came across this at NAPA and said, “ What have I got to lose except $40?” Followed the instructions to the tee including removing the thermostat. By the following day after doing the flushing and runs, the problem was solved. Kept checking it everyday as my son drove to college/home 80 plus miles round trip each day and still, no problem. And then...my son wrecked the damn car 5 months later totaling it (he was fine). But at least I wasn’t out $1200 plus on this repair!!! This stuff seriously works..but like the man says, follow the instructions as they state on the bottle label. I’m a Blue Devil believer!! Good video!!

@waynesanchez65043 жыл бұрын
Used to assist in an automotive machine shop. If you're replacing a head gasket you SHOULD have that head REBUILT at the same time! Why? Because many times a blown head gasket is the rebuilt of a WARPED HEAD. That head should be checked for warpage and whether or not it can be SHAVED (machined flat). At the same time, you will have the valves, valve guides, springs, and valve oil seals checked/replaced as necessary.

The leak is so small, I don't even have drips on the ground beneath the truck...... Just see signs of it when looking up from below the truck. It's probably best to do it now since I've already flushed the coolant multiple times, especially the heater core.

A tip I found online and used that worked well - maybe put in a lower temp/pressure thermostat to reduce likelihood of blowing out the sealant. I ran a bottle of Blue Devil (the standard version, not the quick one) through an high mileage '87 Ranger (v6) with a severely blown head gasket. Still had a bit of a leak, so I flushed it again and ran another 1/2 bottle through it. Drove the truck daily for the next 3 years with no leak, probably 25000 miles. It was still running when I scrapped it. (I had bought the truck from a friend who was going to scrap it - I was moving to a new apartment that week, and figured it could just barely make it the 1.5 mile drive before, and save me the cost of renting a U-haul. The Ranger would blow through / boil out almost the entire coolant system after 5 minutes of driving, needing a refill. Worked out better than expected, and I was only out the cost of 2 bottles and the time to flush it! From friends who've used it, sounds like getting it flushed really well (as directions dictate) makes the biggest difference in whether it will work or not. I personally think the lower temp thermostat helped too.

A lot of people always leave out a bunch of others too. When doing this be sure to read the directions on the capacity for your radiator. The yellow label is usually for V8 models depends on your radiator capacity like I said. I only used half a container for my 4 cylinder. But I’ve also done both products and the pour n go still leaves behind white residue on your thermostat and I would advise people to drain and fill on the pour n go as well. Maybe let the vehicle cure for a good day. And pour in new coolant on the pour n go along with replacing the thermostat. This yellow one the same method drain the coolant inside it and replace new coolant. Oh also when you pour in the blue devil don’t just put the cap back on. But, be sure to top off your radiator with water until full so you don’t have air in the system and last put on your radiator cap....boom you’ll be set and let idle.

At this point, and at my last service and check up, my mechanic said my truck is running well and the oil is normal.

After that repair is done ,and you still have issue ( you overheated the engine ) then you should try Blue devil .

It had sat for a 5 or 6 years and when it went back into service, a cracked radiator was discovered and repaired after a large puddle of coolant was discovered. it developed a slight rhythmic rev while idling a few days before that. After light use, one day it's temp spiked to redline. It's operating temp is 218. The thermostat was then replaced. Now it's losing fluid and Ive discovered liquid on the block directly below the head on the drivers side. There is no coolant in the oil and no moisture in the exhaust... only on the block. Will this product possibly work for this specific condition? I only ask because it seems like all the examples ive seen show internal leaks, fluid into cylinder, or fluid into oil....

Got an 88 Ford f350 7.3 naturally aspirated diesel. Have a coolant leak externally only in the front passenger side right under the exhaust manifold. Pretty sure it's a head gasket leaking externally only. No symptoms of coolant getting into the combustion chamber or oil. I'm a little concerned that the blue devil might not work here because it isn't hot enough to get it to harden up. It only leaks if I leave the radiator cap on and the system pressurizes. If I leave the cap off it doesn't leak at all. As rarely as this truck gets run I'm considering just letting the truck operate this way. Any suggestions on a product that would be better suited for an external coolant leak?

I have an old Toyota 2LT engine built anew. All items are new and high quality. Most Japanese, only pistons are Taiwan. The cylinder block is bored out, and new high carbon steel, quality cylinders are inserted. Cylinder block gasket metal TAKOMA. But on the gasket was smeared SHELLAC, and possibly of poor quality. Engine - diesel. At high speeds/tork , it gradually squeezes out antifreeze. Also, with the thermostat removed, it squeezes out 1.5 liters for 80 km. At low speeds, the pressure is less, the inflation of the cooling system is less. The compression was checked by inflating the air pressure into the holes of the glow plugs. There is a slip between the three cylinders. The big problem is that from the 3rd cylinder there is a breakdown into the crankcase and there is a weak but smoke from the crankcase durig the oil dipstick. The question is - Can a punctured, poorly-fitted gasket leak exhaust gas into the oil system like into the cooling system? And is it worth it to apply sealants or change the gasket? Should I use metal or paranitic? On a metal smear SHELLAC or is it not worth doing? Thanks in advance for any advice. And thanks for the interesting videos.

I pulled my thermostat as suggested, huge mistake. Both the bolts were super rusted and snapped off, had to drill and tap. Water pump and intake are done. And the reason they were rusted, previous owner never flushed system once and only ran water, because "it's a California car". Radiator fluid, or coolant, is important. It has a lower freezing point, but also a higher boiling point AND corrosion inhibitors. This video and the 1st video are super helpful and well done, but please don't suggest coolant isn't important. People are dumb, they will just run water and turn a v8 into a boat anchor.

Besides needing to remove the thermostat and flush the coolant, what’s the difference between this and the yellow label?
@tiffanyv42055 ай бұрын
He is using the yellow label. The pour n go is the all blue and white label and doesn’t work as good only small issue. The big yellow bottle is more concentrated and you must remove thermostat. Don’t even bother with pour n go unless you can’t remove your thermostat but I recommend either way you do.

Hello everybody! My 2003 civic always makes a 2-second air hissing/sucking sound when I shut the engine off. In addition to that, the coolant always fills the reservoir up and doesn't seem to go back to the radiator. If I don't fill the coolant in the radiator up after a long ride or a few short rides, I'll get overheating. Someone told me that there's a leak from the coolant passage through the gasket to the outside. I don't see it mentioned in this video so I'm not sure if it's a thing. And if it's truly is, does anyone know a way to fix it? Does head gasket sealer help in this case? Thanks!

Great video. Question: I have a bmw 528i and there is no radiator cap. Only the reservoir cap. I’ve seen other videos saying NOT to put this is the reservoir but ONLY in the radiator. How is the best way to proceed on this type of radiator situation? I don’t have fluid going into the oil. So no chocolate milk situation, but is coming out of the exhaust and no misfiring yet in the cylinder. But that is probably coming down the road. Please advise...

Hey guys. I have a 98 nissan almera 1.6 litre (16 valves) with hole in head gasket. it doesnt have a white smoke but it overheats on hi revs and it consumpes oil and water like 1 litre per 1000 miles. I cleaned a radiator and removed my thermostat. my question is after i put Blue devil can i run the car without thermostat? and what is better after the blue devil treatment? filtered water or coolant? or can i mix between them
@2carpros4 жыл бұрын
Yes you can run the car without a thermostat but it might overheat due to water not sitting in the radiator long enough to be cooled. I just use hose water with coolant concentrate. Thanks for watching!
