[QUOTE="Doug Kaye, post: 1043445, member: 73761"] I've used the sealants on: Ford Econoline 150 1982 with the old v6 4.9L engine, for about 3 months until radiator replaced Acura MDX 2006, about three years now my Sport Trac, about 3 months So far no permanent damage noticed in any engine. It's theoretically possible as Todd Z says. The old Wyoming cowboys I was travelling with when I put the sealant into the Sport Trac, said I was about to destroy the engine - both of them had bad experiences with it in their old trucks. I flushed 3 times with water before putting in the new radiator and coolant, because they'd spooked me.. The Car Talk guys said on one of their shows, TOM: No, they won't do more harm than good. But there's at least a 90 percent chance they'll do nothing. RAY: We consider these "products of last resort." If you're facing a major engine or transmission repair, then why not try an $8 bottle of Miracle Whip or whatever they call it? [/QUOTE]
