I just had to put a water pump on my 1986 F-150 ..last week...It's got 166.000 miles on it..I don't uselly don't drive over 3-5 miles a day..just over the hill down to town to work and back..but drove farther the other day to put new doors in a house..probably 10 miles eachway..when i got back home i noticed..white gray smoke coming out the exhaust..let it cool and checked water level in rad....took about a qt...to bring it back up top..have been noticeing that any water in resovor(sp) tank has been disapering..for about 6 months..I'm thinking head gasket..but thats not going to be a easyfix..I don't think the blue wrench would get the exhaust manifold off without alot of trouble..Talked with my neighbor who works as a GM mechanic..he told me not to tear it down..to put in K-Seal by Solv-Tec..he just stopped by and handed me a bottle..free....said alot of dealers are useing this product..for repairs... http://www.kseal.com/ Any of you guys used or heard of this .. I did a google search..and found none that said it didn't work..:unsure::whistling:

I never have heard of this stuff before, but the only stop leak my Dad and his brothers have ever used on the farm and in his over the road trucks, was Silver Seal Radiator Stop Leak. http://silversealstopleak.ecrater.com/p/10089329/silver-seal-radiator-stop-leak#
It does a great job on small engine, radiator and heater core leaks without clogging everything up like the others i have heard of.
I was also told that some of the local car dealerships use it in brand new vehicles as a preventative measure. :unsure:

Personally i would just find, and fix the problem though. :wink:
