Artifical gasket sealnt liquid

How bad does that artificial sealant mess up your radiator? will i need a new one once i use it? im not worryed about the motor i just need it to last me a couple more months until i can get everything together for the TII swap. Any brands someone could recommend and how long does it usually last?

it depends what happened inside the motor. when my rotor housings got eaten up by electrolysis the liquid glass didn't help a damn bit. i suppose with a cracked iron it may work temporarily if the iron cracked in a smaller location, if it is one of the larger areas then i doubt the fix will last for long.

follow the directions exactly and it is a good idea to block off the heater core lines so the core doesn't get clogged up while doing the procedure, you really don't want to have to replace your heater core..

How bad will this mess up your radiator? Its bound to clog it a little bit up. but is it bad enough that it needs to be competely replaced?
