You are in the same boat I am. If I could put a sealant in it and trade it in to a used car lot I might get $4,000 for it but if I tell him I have a blown head gasket I might get 400 for it. My head gasket is definitely blown and I may try some blue devil I don't know thanks for responding.

Thanks guys...I appreciate your advice.

It has a new radiator. Before I took it in to get a new radiator I got under the car and look for leaks didn't see any the water pump relatively new. It's still leaking coolant and when you take the oil cap off there's this white gunk in there. It's not blowing white smoke and there's no obvious...

If it doesn't work will it harm any other parts of the engine? I'm thinking if I do an additive and it doesn't work there's always replacing the gasket.

It's leaking. It's over heated and apparently compromised the head gasket. It runs but I'm constantly adding coolant.

Thank you..

What kind of guarantee to you have with steel seal? Guarantee to work? And if it doesn't?

I have an 05 Sport Trac. I've spent a lot of money on it. It has a rebuilt engine, 70,000 on it, new body mount bushing, tires, radiator, water pump, it goes on and on. I've been reading youtube posts on what sealer to use and how to do it. It's info that's all over the map. I believe a sealer...

I just found out I have a blown head gasket. I don't know very much about it but the mechanic took the old cap off and I saw the white plastic melted looking substance inside the oil cap. He checked the oil and said there was not water in the oil which is supposedly a good thing. My truck is a...

Thanks 👍

Thanks for your response

Thanks. Yes what happened was my radiator was leaking and I kept just filling it up with water. Finally I got caught it overheated and I could hear the valves rattle not more than 5 seconds before I shut it off. The mechanic who put in the new radiator said it had a miss and it does when you try...

My 05 Sport Trac was losing coolant as there was a radiator leak. It overheated to the point the valves were banging for maybe 5 secs before I turned it off. I had the radiator replaced. The mechanic told me when I picked it up he was noticing a miss. He mentioned blown head gasket. I notice the...

Yes, it's called money. The reason it was running rough turned out to be a fuel sensor. Runs well now. Thanks for that useful reply Dillard.

My 05 Sport Trac has a leak in the radiator. I've just been filling it back up every so often. The other day I forgot to add water and it overheated. I heard the valves ticking but for no longer than 5 or 10 seconds before I shut it off. I filled it back up and it's running rough. Trying to...
