The only one I've ever seen work is Zecol Mend***e.

Sounds like a surface issue.

 

If its a blue felpro, I put a light coat of silicone sealer around the water p***ages, on the gasket itself. No water leaks. Aluminum head and block tends to move around a bit with heat cycling.

 

block & head just surfaced . new motor . thank you .. steve

 

Have had real good results using Permatex's Hi-Tack Spray-A-Gasket adhesive, it's about the only thing that would keep a head gasket in an Oliver diesel.

 

K&W spray coppercoat is good.

 

Back in the day we used Aluminum spray paint, I don't know if Aluminum paint is still Aluminum pigment but back then it was.

 

i have just spray painted a few old head gaskets and resused them with good luck, i let them dry over night till they are not tacky.

Leave it alone. In time, it'll prolly seal on its own from aniti-freeze additives,

I've been using Coppercoat since the '60s, even on the Felpro blue head gaskets. Never a leakage problem.

 

I ***ume he wants to seal it without taking it apart.

 

Coppercoat has always worked for me on all engines.
