Hi guys , just thought i would update you all on my use of steel seal , I've had the pressurising of the expansion bottle for about a year now , never overheated and i only use my gal at the week ends if at all. I've tried everything including tightening the head bolts a little, flushing the entire system, tried k seal ultra ,you name it I've tried it so as a last ditch attempt before having to lift the head i flushed the system and tried steel seal. followed all the instructions to the letter and it did seem to work for about 300 miles! then drove to the airport for our holiday and when i pulled up in the car park could smell the antifreeze. yes it pressurised up again and blew it all out. I've now been away for 2 weeks come home and have now bitten the bullet. head gasket time.
don't waste your money on the steel seal or other products of this nature cos they don't work!
SO WATCH OUT GUYS .i may be back on here later asking for advice, just looked through EGG'S post of "the big work has begun" and boy! he's had a time of it. I've started to strip it but had to give it up due to work so back on with it shortly.
