its works about as good and mixing MM oil with J-B weld and pouring it in your TB.. accually i dont know how it will work.. i had a S10 with a bad rad and i poured it in there and it stopped the rad leak.. hell if it needs rebuilt anyways i would go for it to see what happens..

there is no exhuast seal... are you talking water seals? if so you can try that.. do a seach there was a lenthy write up on how to do it. involving mutiply flushes.

if you're talking apex seals. nothing you can do but rebuild or replace.

I thought he was talking about an exhaust gasket...

In the morning (after the car has cooled for a few hours), start the car and remove the radiator cap. If you see bubbles, you have a blown water seal.
