So, throw a handful of fine ground pepper in the radiator, run the motor until it warms up and let it set in the crack. Cost, less than 50 cents, and works just as well. It is also easy to clean up the head and block after. I had a Fiat 615 65HP tractor run for 15 years with pepper sealing the leaks around the outside of the head to block joint. It came apart happily when it was time to replace rings and bearings, and there was no visible smell or residue inside the block. It would have had many water changes for radiator hoses etc in that time. Recent repairs this way can be identified when looking at second hand vehicles by simply lifting the radiator cap to one's nose..... Hope this helps, Pete |
