FAQs
How does Steel Seal Head Gasket Repair work?
Steel Seal circulates within the cooling system. When it encounters the heat and pressure of a head gasket leak or warped cylinder head, it chemically reacts and permanently seals the breach.
Is this a permanent repair?
Steel Seal is designed to provide a permanent, reliable seal for head gasket failures and warped cylinder heads when applied correctly.
Can I use this with my existing antifreeze?
Yes, Steel Seal is compatible with all types of antifreeze and coolant.
What vehicles can I use this on?
It is designed for all types of vehicles with water-cooled systems, including cars, bikes, vans, pickups, 4x4s, tractors, lorries, and boats.
Do I need to flush my cooling system before use?
While not always mandatory, it is recommended to ensure the cooling system is clean for optimal performance. Remove any existing sealants or debris.
How much product do I need to use?
The amount varies based on the vehicle's cooling system capacity. Refer to the product instructions for specific dosage guidelines.
What should I do if the problem doesn't seem fixed?
Double-check that all application steps were followed precisely. Allow sufficient time for the product to work. If the issue persists, the damage may be too severe for this type of repair.
Troubleshooting
Coolant continues to leak after application.
Ensure the correct amount of Steel Seal was added. Verify the engine reached and maintained operating temperature for the recommended duration. Check for any other potential leaks not related to the head gasket.
Engine is overheating.
Confirm the cooling system is properly bled and free of airlocks. Check that the radiator fan is functioning correctly. Ensure the correct type and amount of coolant is used.
White smoke from exhaust persists.
This can indicate a severe head gasket failure. Allow additional time for the product to seal or consider if the damage is beyond repair by this method. Check for other potential causes of white smoke.
Milky oil appearance does not resolve.
While Steel Seal seals the leak, it does not reverse existing contamination. The oil may need to be changed after the repair is confirmed to be effective.
