Hi everyone — I searched for “k-seal” and “blue devil” and “head gasket seal” and didn’t get results so asking here:
My 1910 has been running hot (the line just below max after 10-15 minutes) and needing antifreeze. Today I gave it some very light duty and it went to max temp, and started discharging gray liquid from the radiator vent down tube.
I turned it off, let it cool, started it up and ran it gently into its garage stall. I did not do any other diagnostics, but it seems very very likely to be a blown head gasket per web searches and mechanic friend looking at pictures of the gray goo, which I have also attached here.
My question is this: is there any downside to trying k-seal or blue devil additive to try to get a seal on the head gasket?
I realize it may not work, or may work but not for long, my question is really about whether I risk damage by using it?
