oil in the 'v'?

Hi Kevin,

I can thoroughly recommend not to use K-Seal unless you are stranded and your life depends on it.

I think K-seal should never be used on a Stag unless in the situation Julian mentions.
Same goes for WD40.

Julian, cat hair is bad enough without splitting it

Why

[mole42]

Because it might bung up the waterways. In my opinion.
Any product that is a "shake and go" (quote) fix for a leaking, pressurised liquid system has to work by putting something into the leak. A bit like we used to do years ago with an egg white into the radiator filler cap. Or some plumbers do these days to 'fix' leaks in the central heating at home.
Bearing in mind that the Stag cooling system, although perfectly adequate in most situations, is marginal at best, I wouldn't recommend putting something in there that might restrict the liquid flow.
If you are referring to WD40, then it's because it is often used for a purpose for which it is not the most suitable product.
Your mileage, as they say, may vary.

As I suspected you are confusing K seal with the like of Barrs Leak. K Seal is a suspended sealant. In industry (Truck and Bus engines) some wet liner engines have a system that controls a level of such additives in the cooling system to combat wet liner cavatation,

[wilf]

Surely stuff like K Seal only "sets" when exposed to air? So whilst it is in suspension in the coolant, it can't really block up waterways as it can't "set"?

Rather like the opposite of threadlocker, which sets in the absence of air/moisture.

I fully agree Wilf - this is either a confusion with the KSeal Head Gasket seal which is pure evil in a bottle, or a misunderstanding of how it works. Yes Richard, it does put something into the leak, but it is almost microscopic particles of copper and an aerobic resin not great lumps of fibre like the 'dog turd' Barrs Leaks of the 70s

I would thoroughly recommend it's use in a Stag engine, and have used it in mine for years

Worked fine on my leak, and no overheating, no blockages that I'm aware of.

Endorsements from Ian and Russ give me reason to change my earlier statement about k-seal.

Yes - he fits cat-alytic converters

I'll get me coat

Hi Kevin, I've heard of them but honestly do not know of anybody that has used them. Wouldn't say they were a Stag specialist by any means. The offer is still there if you want a second opinion, let me know.
