No issues in the bottom end, but a bad head gasket and water in the oil. Had a leaky rear main too. Bought a felpro and picked up a can of K-W block sealer. Don't have any cracks in the block or head, but can't hurt right? [Reply]   [No Email]

If you have no such leaks I see no reason to use it. If you do decide to use it, follow the directions PRECISELY. Dean   [Reply]  [No Email]

But $9 to get a better seal between water and oil (they don't like to mix) is cheap insurance.   [Reply]  [No Email]

Heard about it at work, guy uses it on his drag car (long way from an an N) cuz head bolts go into water jacket. Read the can sometime, really an in depth process.   [Reply]  [No Email]
