Blue Devil Head Gasket Sealer fixed my E46 BMW 325ci Engine - 5000 MILE TEST

So not follow this guys example. You shouldnt pull the plug because how is the sealant going to have the pressure to seal any cracks in that hole if he just has it open to the environment and dont get me started in opening the rad cap while hot.

[@Arazulu]

Exactly 💯😂 I don't know what the hell this guy was doing but his car is definitely gonna be crazy messed up after what he just did.

[@82_KID]

You need a new battery 🔋

[@davidbryant5875]

Yes. Why did he do it like that. lol never do leave the spark plug out.

[@model0l555]

Don't feel bad. Made the same mistake. I, on the other hand, have a reservoir. There is no cap on the radiator. So, like you, all the antifreeze filled the reservoir due to good pressure. Unfortunately, now I have to bleed it all again and get that antifreeze out of the reservoir. When this happened, I took a test drive regardless. Everything worked as it should except for when I was sitting for about 5 minutes while running. She ran really hot. Only while moving, she ran smoothly. Being that the water pump is moving much faster. I do know that I lost a lot of antifreeze while opening up the reservoir. I'm going to let it cool down and take it from there. Your video did, however, let me know, Using this product, if it worked, will build up that pressure. I've been going through this for some time with my car. And i've never seen that much pressure built up before using this product.

[@robdude1969]

I’m certain the pressure built up from the original fail point in the head or gasket. As the engine cylinder kept going with an opening on the compression stroke. This sealed that as the engine warmed up. I’m not sure how much pressure the water pump adds in a closed system like this. Regardless, good luck with your motor!! Thanks for your comment.

[@Rokker61]

This stuff can work, depending on where the head gasket has failed. BUT If it's failed between a combustion chamber and the coolant jacket, over- pressurising the cooling system, then the Manufacturers STRONGLY recommend you don't use blue devil, as there is a likely chance of the product being drawn into the cylinder, instantly setting hard like ceramic, and destroying the engine! Honestly, a head gasket replacement on most cars is not a big job, and quite fun to do.

[@robdude1969]

I had literally given up on this car when I had diagnosed the problem. Paying for a head replacement was going to cost more than a replacement vehicle. This was a gamble for me that paid off, but now I have two e46 convertibles!

[@Rokker61]

@@robdude1969 absolutely. If the cost of replacing the head gasket is more than what the car is worth, then sure - go for it! Nothing to lose.

[@dbzownz12345]

do you know if this product would work in oil/coolant mixing into engine? I was told that you'd need do oil change before & after the process for some success? Have you any thoughts on this? Thanks!

[@Rokker61]

@@dbzownz12345 Yes, if you have coolant mixing into the oil, you'll probably notice a creamy sludge forming around the oil filler cap and other places. You would certainly need to change the oil and filter. I would even do an oil flush as well, just to be safe.

[@dbzownz12345]

@@Rokker61 yeah, dont own a hose so i prob need bring like 20 jugs of water. Should I also drain the coolant from after the treatment or just do the oil change? I dont want to lose product, but also don't want to ruin the results either. I really do apperciate the advice!

[@TrueBlueEG8]

Do you not read? The cooling system is under pressure whenever its hot, regardless of the head gasket situation.

[@robdude1969]

you can look for bubbles in the coolant tank if you open at startup BEFORE it heats up... (did you see my silly hot peek?) if the coolant is bubbling, you are getting pressure from somewhere.

[@NoName-qf2ks]

Just do it the normal way fellas

[@emmanuelikpo]

Do i need to drain the coolant after adding the bluedevil sealer to repair the head gasket or i will just continue driving the car with the bluedevil inside? and also, did you remove the thermostat

[@elchecholo2068]

Hello genius! Congratulations on that work, although with some mishaps, but it worked! I'm about to do the same thing on a 2008 x3 that is blowing smoke and I discovered that blue coolant is clearly visible in the hole of spark plug 4, the other spark plugs come out dry, is it necessary to remove the thermostat? And if I take it out, how do I deal with the holes that join the water pump? I'm sorry for asking so much but I'm researching elsewhere and I can't find any information. I thank you for your informative video and when you can, please answer my questions? thank you

[@robdude1969]

My e46 thermostat is built into the housing, it cannot be removed separately. I am guessing your engine isn't much different from mine.

[@Miles-wy1zr]

Just a tip bro. Next time don’t take out the spark plug. Let the engine pressurize for those 40-60 minutes THEN pull out the spark plugs. Let that sealer sit over night.

[@Celticman197]

Is this just for very small pin head type leaks? I can actually water coming out the side of the head, is that too big a leak?

[@Ghost29303]

Never remove a radiator cap when the engine is still hot .

[@robdude1969]

This is really good advice. I wish you told me before I did that.

[@vernaloutback]

You’re killing me! You took the cap off to see if there’s pressure when you have a relief valve right next to it! You open the valve ya dingaling! If you want to do a what not to do that’s cool but you could have easily given yourself 2nd or 3rd degree burns there. I was shocked there wasn’t a string of cursing when it popped. If you ever HAVE to open a hot radiator cap rig up some kind of a long pole and a pipe wrench or something and have a heavy blanket over the top of it.

[@juancastaneda9844]

I did this on a 2007 Mercedes Gl450 it was my last option. It was getting a little oil in the coolant system, no blown head gasket or low coolant. I replaced the typical which was the oil cooler, cooler gasket, oil housing gasket and a new radiator incase it was the transmission cooler built in the radiator. But still oil in the coolant, or maybe I over exaggerated and just needed to remove the reservoir and flush it out. But I used the new pour and go 2x sealing power hopefully it works 😳

[@angelrauda7417]

did you floor it? did it go into limp mode?

[@robdude1969]

No limp mode. Just normal car now.

[@djuanejackson4215]

What caused this in the first place... a bad water pump, leaking radiator, bad thermostat etc. ???

[@robdude1969]

The e46 is notorious for having issues with overheating. If any part of the cooling system fails from a leaking o-ring or a crack in the plastic, coolant levels may drop and engine temps can climb above normal. If you don't let the engine cool, the head may warp slightly or even crack. The coolant channels are very close to the cylinders and the gap formed by a failure can let coolant and exhaust mix. Telltale signs are rough starts, white smoke from moisture, smell of burning coolant. Check Engine light may come on and a OBD2 reader will give you misfire codes.
