Hi all,

I got a bad coolant seal on my motor and try to find a fix to get my car running for sometime again. I don't want to rebuilt the motor after that.

So i llok in the forum, and got some thread bouth this

crc block weld. I would like to know where in montreal, i can buy this stuff. ??

back when the motor in my vert died I looked everywhere for block weld and couldn't find it.

if you do track some down let me know, I wouldn't mind owning a bottle just to see if it will work one day!

 

CRC products are available at Napa, that stuff causes more problems then it fixes.

 

Keep in mind that the block weld trick is a last ditch, must have the car running tomorrow, life or death fix. It's only to be used if there is no other option.

The stuff will clog every passage in your radiator and heater core, and will be a real pain to dig out of the engine if you rebuild it.

 

Using the CRC stuff will definately cause you major grief in the long run since it is metallic based. I used Prestone organic based stuff a few years ago and it kept my motor running for an additional couple of months. The organic stuff was easy to clean when the motor was rebuilt. If you use the metallic stuff say good buy to expensive components that could have been reused.

 

What about your organic stuff ? you have "fix" you bad coolant seal with this ?.

I don't think rebuild the engine. The car is not is realy good shape. It's to be able to get the car running for a couple of week if i can.

But It is normal that some time when i start the car (in the morning) i get white smoke and some time not ? This morning i start my car and i get nothing. Like a normal start. and yesterday was alot of smoke ?

Before you start it in the morning.Pull the plugs out,to see what is making your Car Puff smokeYou may have to JOG the starter to get some stuff to come out the Plug holes..If it is fuel, you have leaky Injectors,and If it is coolant,you have a bad coolant seal.

 

It's very intermittent .

I will try to have a look at it. Hope to see something.
