Does this do horrible things like block radiators?

MY FORD has a very slight weeping of the head gasket.

It's only a temporary fix and it's effectiveness depends largely upon where
the leak is.

[Professor Analfuck]

Yes but will it block the radiator?

Save your money and get a tablespoon of fine ground pepper, pour it into the
radiator and warm it up. The pepper will expand with the water and fill the
crack nicely. They then cook into place and set as a solid seal. It is
particularly good and will last for many years where the head gasket weaps
to the outside of the block, and partly effective for water jacket to
cylinder leaks.

Then once your leak is fixed, you can add a stocking filter to the top
radiator hose and catch any shit that is in your system. Simply take of the
top hose at the radiator and add a kneehigh stocking. You can have it as a
permanent filter, but check how much shit you catch in it for the first few
drives. Not from the pepper, but the rusaty shit you don't want in your
system anyway.

Hope this helps,
Peter

Not if the cooling system is in reasonable condition.

I know a guy who has a cracked head on his VL Commode (common problem) and
he has been putting Chemiweld in now for about 9 months, he usually puts it
in every 3 months when the temp gauge starts to rise but it hasn't blocked
the radiator to a point where there is no flow, the engine is starting to
die though, lol.

I wouldn't use it in my cars though. As Clocky said, it's only a temp fix
and when you do have to fix it, your going to have extra work ungumming all
the crap that it left behind.

Replace the gasket.

Chemiweld will do fuck all to fix such leaks.

It won't repair it. It's a "Car yard quick fix" IMHO.
If you like your car don't put the crap in.

Save yourself money in the future and fix the problem now. Head gasket
replacements aren't as difficult as you may think on one of those cars.

WILL it STOP it for a LITTLE WHILE?

If you're lucky yes.

If you're that intent on doing it, do it.
But it will fuck up your engine to an extent, and it will eventually block
up the cooling system.
As stated, when... or if, you choose to fix it properly, you will be up for
a hefty cleaning bill to get rid of all the gummy crap left behind from
using it.

It is a car yard fix. It might stop it for 100km, it might stop it for
100,000. But it won't fix the problem.

No, Chemiweld won't repair anything. However, it *may* postpone the proper
fix for a little while, depending on what the problem actually is.

It's a band-aid product and should be treated as such. In your particular
case I expect it would do nothing at all.

None of those fix anything, they patch temporarily at best.

No amount of chemiweld or any other shit is going to fix a head gasket
leaking water into the combustion chamber for any length of time.

sorry, if you're talking the chemiweld brand (if it is a brand?)
specifically, you may be right. Whatever the pellets my mechanic gave
me to put in were, worked good. I could probably find the brand if it's
important...

Most of this kind of stuff is only a temporary fix Charlie, and won't
miraculously cure the problem.

At best, all it can ever do is put it off for a while....

Here's a story: A workmate's son has a 308 HZ ute which was losing water
out of a rear welsh-plug on the back of the motor,..dont know exactly how
much,..but he claims the problem was fixed by adding a 'fix-leak' product.
Shortly afterwards ( a matter of weeks) they removed the engine after the
leak came back as bad as ever.

The product had worked to the extent it had oozed thru the rusted plug like
a big stalectite and hardened,..trouble was the rest of the plug then broke
away under normal rad- pressure. He put more than one can of thestuff in
too.

sure, but isn't that kind of like saying not revving the bejesus out of
a cold engine will only put off the inevitable rebuild for a while? A
few years extra out of a 10 year old head gasket is a reasonable %
increase for a bit of extra effort cleaning shit out when it comes time
to deal with it. I'll be happier spending the money on the stupid thing
by the time it goes, 3 months ownership then a weapy head gasket gave me
the shits :)

Years? Try a few weeks at best in most cases.

Sort of, but not really.

One is trying to cure a fault by "cheap & nasty" means, while the other is
"doing the right thing" to look after the engine.

No doubt.

I'm not saying *don't* use it, but rather don't expect it to perform
miracles. It can do everything or nothing depending on what way you hold
your tongue when pouring it into the radiator...

Probably won't do much for it either. Only one that was ever worth a
pinch of shit is called Irontite -- AFAIK it's marketed under the W&B
label nowadays and I'm not even sure if the formula hasn't been
altered since I last used it.

I haven't used it for a few years now, but the last time I did it worked
well on a block crack that would have otherwise been a bitch to repair.

My Ole XD I bought has major interior damage resulting from a stuffed
heater core, the first time I drove it after it was registered ended up
resembling a steam room. I think the previous owner drove it like this
for a while for there to be so much damage.

Anyway, I was put onto a product called silverseal and this fixed the
problem in seconds.. Drove the XD for 2 years on and off and the leak
only came back once after the XD was sitting still for 3 months..

put similar into my falcon 6 months ago because it was leaking coolant
down the side of the block (out the head gasket) and it's been good
since. No temp problems throughout qld summer towing a smallish
trailer.

This is a "limp home" product as is many including
"tyre weld" in a spray pack.

Fix yourself, or get it fixed properly.
