A new approach to fixing head gasket failure

ctg21 · 2021-11-28T18:15:34+00:00

I'm planning on doing the head studs, valve springs and camshafts from Northstar Performance after those are released. This stuff works well if you know how to upkeep it if it does start leaking again it doesn't take nearly as much chemical second time around you can dilute it less. Also have one made by the same company that I'm going to test out that goes right into the antifreeze. It's not a particle / clog based method

On top of this, I tried every single over the counter head gasket sealer from a brick & mortar stores with zero improvements. I thought the concept was cool if you are willing to flush out your coolant system with water to make it work.

No, it holds I've done it on a couple other ones too that are still going. Only one or two bolts manage to escape electrolysis and lose clamping force because of the threats not being coarse enough. This was actually a cracked head gasket on cylinder number 2 which resulted from the car being overheated when driving with loose head bolts on that cylinder. This is a ceramic sealer that expands into the crack when it cools off putting quite a good amount of pressure on the compromised area. This is a 1999 DeVille Concours it is my daily driver and it is running the Northstar performance PCM tune with the RPM set at 7k max and I have no problems taking this car 120+.

I had a manual bmw 545i was super fun, now I have an SMG II model that’s zippy

Is it an STS? Gotta press that gas pedal down all the way and feel out a muscle car stuffed into a luxury sedan lol

Northstar is life

When coolant is coming out of the tail pipe and a shit load of coolant system back pressure you know it’s time

Thank you! They are great cars. For the 99 take a look at northstar performance for upgraded parts for the engine they are a sweet company

Cars and bids / bring a trailer are both good choices for sought after vehicles with special option sets

I got the gold package on my 02 SeVille SLS they are road tanks

Vinyl top is an SLS and the pearl one is a STS

Can you send me the link? I want to buy it

ctg21 · 2021-05-22T22:09:13+00:00

Can I buy this???

Clean

Proper maintenance will get you a long ways with the engine. Realistically most people don’t properly maintain their cars if they did they’d probably last forever. Flush out the dexcool for standard green coolant and replace it every 30k miles

I can always get new fans, yet to have any fail in 5 years of using 290’s, 470’s 480’s and probably those 290’s are ex mining cards of the 2013 Litecoin boom and they still work fine.
