Ok...so I dont like the idea or the stuff itself...
BUT after doing a cheap job of me headgasket and it working fine apart from leaking some coolant between head/gasket I thought I would do the following:
buy Kseal.
£9 posted.
try it.
report back to see if it fixes it and how the engine runs...
then in a couple months when I rebuild the whole thing properly report back regarding what it may or may not have done internally!
so....poured in on monday.
cars runs bang on now and now leaks.

I used Holts Wondarweld in a last minute attempt to bodge the car to FCS'12. It didn't work. And in about half an hour of idling, it got EVERYWHERE.
Mark Airey can vouch for me when I say the stuff is f*cking vile.

K-seal is ok but wait till you need to bleed the system it blocks the pipes. ive found another product call STEEL SEAL bit pricey but says if it doesnt work you get your money back

seems to have fixed the leaks...
however it TAKES ages to heat up and never gets to full temp unless boosting hard...
so need to remove 'stat and test

nope...
says pour in, drive and in 2/3min at running temp it will fix.
no need to flush etc.
be interesting when I look...

I dont like the stuff either but as its cheap and on a engine that will be fully stripped down in a month or so I thought I would try it and report back!
