K Seal

[Pyttspete]

I have a small weep from the core plug / frost plug and am thinking of using the K Seal leak repair solution until I can get round to taking the head off to repair. Are there any drawbacks to using K Seal - any effects on the cooling system that anyone knows about????

Thanks

Hi - I've used it before with no apparent negative effects on the cooling system.

I'm pretty sure I heard the Stag boys use it extensively so I doubt it creates problems

It is the best of all the "quick fix" solutions, but if the plug is leaking, it's probably rusting through from the inside, & when that starts to happen it usualy get worse very quickly (ask me how I know).

Why would you need to take the head off to replace it? Best done now before it gives way.

This is at the back of the head Stuart - I cant see any way to remove or replace? Would love to do it in situ.

its difficult but can be done (IMHO) I would flag up that in the past I have had problems with thermostats sticking due to K seal....so it does work....on everything!

Don’t risk a bigger leak. Large quantities of boiling water on your legs could very dodgy. Don’t ask me how I know!

It is do able, bonnet off and battery out, big screwdriver to lever it out and clean up the seat and then a smear of sealant around the edge, fit the plug in place and then a good clout with big hammer and the right size socket.
