I actually used Blue Devil back in 2012 on an Altima. While working in Colorado I was staying at a hotel. One of the girls that worked housekeeping had an Altima that would smoke like crazy when she drove it. I asked her if she had ever had it looked at. She told me a mechanic told her it would cost her $2500-3500 to fix. So, I began the research to get her the parts (cheaper). Then, I would work on it for her pretty cheap. Well, during my research I came across Blue Devil’s products. I picked the product that allowed sealing of the system without removing the thermostat(s). After 50min of idling it was good as new. I contacted her 3 or 4 months later... she said it was still running like a champ!!! So, Blue Devil does work as advertised!!!
Which one doesn't require removing the thermostat?
@iRideuWatch
The “white label” Blue Devil pour and go you can leave the thermostat in!
Neighbors like you make the neighborhood a better place
Yeah when you are appreciative,
People today are mostly ungrateful.
You are very right. I hate selfish neighbours.
where do I find mechanic like this now days
really need one
He’s a really good person!
Yes yes
Karen's and jeans
I just love the passing of time in his videos. Opening up the garage door on another day in the life of the home mechanic. Brilliant. 😁
Me too. I love how he does his videos. God Bless
Blue Devil worked for me only for three days. The guarantee was only for what I paid for the bottle at the part store not for the labor. You need to keep the empty bottle to send back the barcode sticker. The company phone number is a voice mail. Try calling the company before buying the bottle.
I think the effectiveness of the product depends on the size of the hole. It didn't work for me. My head gasket was really blown. Water flushing out of the exhaust pipe. Blue Devil refunded my money no problem.
Enjoy your videos. I myself do some wrenching on my own vehicles and family’s. Started young out of pure necessity. Most people don’t understand the blood sweat and tears that goes into fixing these things as well as the time to troubleshoot the millions of things that can cause a system to fail or run bad. Anyway just wanted to say thanks for your vids man, I have years of doing this work without the schooling so watching your videos helps pickup new techniques and tricks. 🤙🏼
If used correctly. Works amazing. Tried it on a Honda Odyssey
Gasket was blown in all cylinders. Fixed it as if there was no issues. I later took motor apart to do gasket and timing stuff. No signs of blockage. Poured the pour and go into rad hose into cold motor. Ran motor for hour plus. Next day it was perfect. Highly recommended
It's not like the old school sealers.
Too funny! 😂👍
I love to see an honest mechanic at work. Thank you! 💞
I just did the blue devil sealant job on my 2002 dodge ram 1500 4.7 , it has 225k miles. It was blowing out white smoke like crazy but after 50 minutes its clean and quite. Temp is perfect. Will do part two tomorrow and test drive. Thx for the great video.
I like your style man. I've been twisting wrenches for over forty years and I would work with you any day of the week. I like your test setup, I made a similar one like your funnel and I like how you just put the stick into it to keep the liquid from pouring out as you moved it to the overflow tank. I also didn't know that some cars are made with two thermostats (I don't see many Japanese cars in my shop). It could very well be that the incorrectly installed thermostat was responsible for the gasket failure ( I wouldn't bet that the gasket was even done the first time around). I also like that you didn't edit your comments as you worked; a couple of them made me laugh out loud(been there, felt that) Great job on this video.
My Nissan Sentra/Versa 1.8 L engine got 2 thermostats. Smog regulations related. Also helps in cold climates to reach operating temperature, faster.

Well done Kind Sir. No cussing and no bleeding knuckles. That alone is a success. I will use this product.
Thanks for being a good mechanic and an even better Dad.
This is when an exhaust gasket leak comes in handy for testing.
I like it when Angel finished he look up at the sky praying to God "if you're there please make it work"! Lol I don't see how this man don't get enough subs with his great sense of humor! Great guy very very trust worthy! I love my Philippino friends
Haha I like your style of videos Less talk more doing 🤗

Great camera, and great one-hand camera work.
I like your style. Always follow destructions!!! 15:49
🤣🤣🤣
1 dislike from the mechanic who installed the thermostat incorrectly :D
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣☠️☠️☠️☠️☠️☠️☠️☠️
Most likely the incorrectly installed Thermostat was the reason the car was overheating in the first place. I have read on Nissan Forum late models specifically after 2004 Altimas, Maximas are known for having overheating issues and causes Blown Head Gaskets.
Some toyota tundra i also see the jiggle face down at 6pm.
you can tell that car was so poorly maintained.
Sadly the oil gunk on the radiator cap gave it away, why go through all those other checks before you check the oil. I be the oil cap looks like peanut butter.
Kindaaaa curious about a pressure test AFTER the product was used...
I thought you are going to turn into The Hulk trying to remove that hose!
It works.... for a while and then it blows up your engine. When the problem returns and the head is taken off, blue devil had clogged up all kinds of passages in the engine, radiator and heater core making it much more expensive repair
My 2001 Honda CR-V has gasket problem. I used a bottle of Blue Devil sealer. I followed the instructions and it work perfect.
Did you have the porn go blue devil or the blue devil with the yellow on the label?
@@tiffanyv4205
I can’t remember.
@@tiffanyv4205
But you have to follow the instructions.
Great video, just curious is to how this car is doing some months later???
Hi from Turkey..! Your videos are night therapy for me thanks a lot!
Thanks Pare' I think you just saved me from totally dismantling my engine for the head gasket. I just need to get it running good enough for smog. 🤙🏽
Did it work for you??
Subaru owners swear by this product, too.
Might work for some but just buy a Toyota instead change the oil and coolant at the interval you’ll never have such issues to begin with. Subaru has a faulty design and they know it- do they care??? Noooo they just wanna sell ya another car loan at 100,000 miles!!
@@topherd1011 It's not much of an issue on newer models. It's caused by the thin single ply gaskets they use on the H4. The 6 cylinder (or turbo H4's) have thicker gaskets and don't have this issue, but post 2007ish it hasn't been as common on the NA flat fours.
Caleb J Boxer engines especially the ones made by Subaru have a tendency to blow head gaskets like mad. At about 100,000 miles. And don’t get me started on their CVT nonsense. CVTs in general are a solution to a problem that never existed. Toyota is even feeling the pain from CVT fuckups. Btw, the Toyota 86 uses the Subaru boxer engine and they too are blowing head gaskets at about the 100,000 mile mark. Those boxer engines are just junk.. and Subaru is well aware of it!
It's really just the fact that Subaru is cheating out on the thin head gasket for the four cylinders. Not an issue on six cylinder and turbo four engines. @@topherd1011
CDubs HasIt you do not know toyotas then. Toyotas were famous for leaking head gaskets. I am talking through the eighties and nineties. I quit buying toyotas. We used to put aluma seal in the radiator for a temporary fix. I am talking the 22R engines, and the 1.8 in the Corrollas. It was just standard at around 110,000-120,000 the head gasket would start leaking. My buddy would buy the toyotas with head gasket leaks and fix them and resell them. The Corrollas, Celicas, Cressida, and the pickups would be a dime a dozen with leaks, just bought the Toyotas with the least amount of rust. If you do not believe me look it up on the internet in Toyota nation website. Everybody drinks the kool aid on Toyota reliability which is true on some models and just the opposite on other models. In fact, if you bought a 2007 Camry it is listed as one of the top ten worst cars to ever buy- all time. Anyway, just do not generalize as to Toyotas being so great especially when there other cars out there that have been proven to be better.
Those Nissan Altima's with the 2.5 are famous for head gaskets and it's because the catalytic converter becomes clogged and because it's SO close to the head it blows the gasket. Pretty good cars besides that.
Another question is that how long will it last? The proper way is to replace the headgasket and have a peace of mind. Those sealers sometimes can block holes which already got narrow because of corrosion.
That Milwaukee tool is the best tool in my tool box! Saved so much time on many problems!
A few grunts, an 'oh shit', a lil' mumbling with a whoa-whoa, limited commentary, and a Bob Hope double-take thrown in, problem solved. Greatest repair video ever. Oscar-worthy.
Hey Angel 😊 i also live in Las Vegas nv, i own a Celica 99 gt. Previously, i also owned another celica but it has gone bad because of bad mechanics that always end up breaking things and say that it needs to be replaced so they can make profit. I need a reliable Mechanic like you. I dont mind the cost, as long as my vehicle is maintained like it's supposed to. I would really be thankful if you can become my mechanic and provide me with info to contact you
Please invest into tools, I've learned alot of ths stuff you just have to trust yourself. Had to bring our '08 mountaineer in for a repair for the first time in years because I didnt want to risk snapping the three bolt heads that hold the thermostat housing into the motor then have to tap new threads into a motor after getting it towed lol I was smart enough to park it until I had 300$ for the therm housing plus an ac flush, if your housing is leaking limp it with the drain resevoir cap cracked slightly so it doesnt buildup pressure from the radiator going in
I always do all my work on my 1999 celica super easy car to do maintenance and learning will save you lots of money great car
hey m8 when hoses get stuk on get a pair of multi grips with adjustable jaws and hold the pipe onto the end and grip hand tight and give the pipe a small twist around the end it will slide around the fitting and you can then pull it off easy instead of trying to pull it off with force. hope it helps. losing skin off the knuckles makes you learn new ways of making it easier.
Tristan Lockerbie thank you m8, I appreciate the tip. Have a great day
Distilled water is mineral free. Tap water has chlorine , and at least calcium in it .
good to know. thank you
man they sure spray the hell out you people in that town. nothing like toxic skies to brighten up a great video. Thanks bro.
None so blind as those who will not see, right? If people can't See hundreds of miles of geoengineered sky right in front of them then they are hypnotized.

When you said "damn this is tight" it reminded me of my wedding night.

Thank you for sharing your Hawaiian sky! Nice trip down the road to pick up your kid from school! You did a fine job helping your neighbor after she got screwed by whoever she went to get her thermostat put in. They probably figured "she's an idiot" and so they just messed with her and stole her money. At least your honest, not a thief the some of these other individuals who robbed your neighbor!
looks like las vegas to me
Yeah, I despise crooks.
When it comes to head sealants,...k-seal. Easy too use around $12-20 and it works.
K seal worked for me for about 3 months car is slowly loosing coolant again.. thinking of using bars next...
This shows how some mechanics do not deserve to be called “mechanics”
Those are what we called “Me Can’t Fix”.
thank you man you saved my life and non profit from your videos
Love the videos, especially the ones you actually talk in. Keep them coming!
I got legit anxiety from my ocd when you decided to try to free hand the blue devil lol 😂
@15:49 always read and follow the DESTRUCTIONs
lol that was funny assuming it was a Typographical error ;)
You do great work and talk trash back to folks talking junk to you about your work. You put em in their place.... ooooo I love it!
Ignore the losers. Angel is the man.
If you left the pressure tester hooked up and the head gasket is blown to a water jet it will fluctuate showing quickly a blown head gasket so just start it and watch the gauge
Thank you for sharing your video Sir. I learned a lot. After buying a used car last year I have become a part-time mechanic while doing some minor fixes. I'm from the Philippines btw. God bless you Sir!
Now she's going to need a heater core and radiator soon. I have had to do to many repairs on peoples cars who have done this. I personally will not use any product that plugs up my cooling system, because it not only plugs up the head gasket, it also plugs up everything else in the cooling system. Either I fix the problem correctly or I don't do it.
I saw your blog and from viewing the first one I just can't stop looking at the others...I enjoy every one .. think I have learned a few things from them too...lol.. keep up the great work
8:31 sounded like Caesar from Gta sa
Your a professional no doughts you taken them about in a minunte.I love to work on car but your the best keep it up
Good morning Fix It Angel! I recently stumbled onto your channel earlier this week and I am hooked! I love your video making style. I too am a UA-camr and enjoy working on cars. Keep the videos coming!
BlazerGuy1983 good morning brother!! Thank you for watching my videos. I appreciate your time. Awesome you repair cars and video too. Let’s help people on how to do it. Good luck to your channel. I subscribed. I will keep trying to upload videos for people like you that enjoy it. Have a nice day.
I liked your video and the way you made it. You covered everything nothing is missed. Each and every detail was great in the video shown as closeup. The length of the video and the added comedy made it interesting to watch.
I truly enjoy watching your channel. I having the worst time ever. I have been unsuccessful with a warm low idle issue. I replaced MAF, Alternator(voltage regulator) Coil Packs, Spark Plugs, Injectors Temperature Control Sensor, Thermostat, rebuilt the engine, and every time that coolant fan kicks on it draws but then. Also when fully warmed up, it also has a low idle without the fan engaged. It sometimes causes ping while driving very faintly.
I think you got the 8 cylinder bottle. The 4-6 cylinder was smaller and cost just under 40 bucks. Which means you used a little too much but may not be a big deal other than wasted cash.
On the small 4-6 cylinder bottle it doesn't mention removing thermostat...but it's better that you did.
Good work by good dude. 4.5 star on you
I have the same car and instructions said to use half a bottle (16oz) for up to a 3 gal. cooling system.
Would be interesting to see if this repair holds up
Mt man 1949 the product works very well!!!!
I tried similar products at least 20 times on Volkswagen t3 bus / Vanagons, it always worked.
you guys ever try steel seal
@@lieberfreialsgleich 20 times???
I also like the style of these videos. I would trade 100 videos of someone talking for 10 minutes before they cracked the first bolt for ONE like this. On another note, if it were me, that 2nd thermostat would have stayed put, and the Blue Devil would probably fail, lol. Good, solid workmanship right here.
Lot of work. Great job but need more time to tell if head gasket is really repair or merely delay expensive repair for short period of time.
Vegas, id recognize that blue sky, the palm tree's, roof shingles and freeway, anywhere bro
Also: High speed clouds passing for the "timed" section of video... Brilliant! Francis Ford Coppola it's not, but its pretty slick for a mechanics UA-cam channel.
Hey Angel , I want to start out by saying great videos ! But Next time id recommend using distilled water to cut back on all the calcium that's already in the radiator . Also Try using the Super Secret Blue Devil (Clear) without the dye to prevent the intake / exhaust valves & bearings from Rusting ! Makes it a whole lot easier for anyone who wants to go back in later on and fix the head gasket and timing chain
Your a great mechanic sir, I like watching your videos because I can learn more , thank you for taking out the time and sharing your knowledge and also I'm a big Pacquiao fan, I been to Manila a few times and now cambodia where my wife is from.
all perfect. Thanks for good video. I am doing this to many cars, with other product. Liquid glass. Results till today are for ever, to all cars i did. I prepared system like you, thermostats out, coolant flush, cleaner, sometimes vinegar, many passes water, drain, then the product, and always worked. What is my difference? I read my product help pages, that in a big leak, or HG, or broken head, i can remove 1 at the time, 1spark plug and coil, to make able product to find HG leak and go in cylinder, and stop leak forever. It is like disable positive pressure. Also, nissans 1.6 , 1.4 are known for cylinder failure, inside, that you have to pressure test the cylinder head. And in my country i have thousands of nissan for parts, just for their head (not headgasket)! Anyway your videos are very helpful!!!!
Awesome vid - informative, clear steps, good humor - you got yourself a subscriber!
Your struggling commentary is gold lmao. Just came across your channel a couple days ago and I like the way you work
That second thermostat housing was an absolute fortress.
I’d like to see the pressure test after...also a follow up in the future. Oh and TWO thermostats?
very informative + the humor= The Best!! Fix it Angel
You know hes a good technician when he dosent know how to use head gasket sealer
15:50 always read and follow the destructions! Lol
lana adai dude that Nissan is not fully cooperating with you because you're wearing a Toyota windbreaker. I tried that blue devil on my Dakota, it worked for a year and leaked again. I tried it one more time and after two years it has never leaked again. great stuff!!! mabuhay and hafa adai . thank you for upload and very informative information
never used blue devil for head gaskets but i used it for the motor oil. It stopped the leak for about 2 weeks and half and then starting leaking after that again.
Gotta love a Nissan with all the clamps and hoses!!
Love ur videos bro. Not like these other UA-cam guys that talk so much and do no work. I just sub to ur channel.
WOW this really helps me a lot. My 2006 CHEVY IMPALA over heat on me last weekend. Took to NTB and they did a compression air test and little did they know they fixed the overheating. I am assuming I had air bubbles in the hoses. Taking to car dealer just to be on the safe side and let them change my engine coolant even though I had this done 2 years ago
Good camera angles, funny shots, good mechanic ...subscribe lol
👍 I agree! I used Blue Devil Gasket sealer on my 1999 RR P38. Darn thing works❗️🤙😎
Look on FB marketplace and Craigslist and you'll see more Altima 2.5s that need head gaskets replaced than dont...
JP in JC pisses me off because I got ours done 2 years ago and the damn head gasket went out again. It lasted longer than their 12k warranty but it was $1700 + $800 timing belt...I’m about to put this sealer in at this point if it doesn’t work we will scrap it. Stupid Nissan Altima 2.5s
Would love to hear the after 2 years update of Blue Devil Sealant.
15:48 always read the destructions 😂
I put Blue Devil in my Silverado 6.0 and it lasted about 3 weeks before it ran hot again. Now I'm trying K Seal.
Which K-seal..? There are several different kinds. My diesel engine started emitting quite a bit of white smoke out of the exhaust. No signs of antifreeze in oil, but was losing antifreeze at idle, about a liter for 40 min. idling. Got the K-seal, the $15.00 one and put it in. Seems the smoke has subsided some and not losing as much antifreeze now, but the car still smokes. I keep thinking I should have ordered K-seal Ultimate, which is about $60 bucks. Should I try the Ultimate K-seal also..? Thanks..!
@@stargazer4519
I used the one in the bigger container which cost about $30 on my Chevy 6.0. It's been about 2 months now and still holding. So far so good..
@@aguerra1381 - Thanks Arturo..! Was it the HD version, do you remember..?

Thanks for the work and honest you put in video. Great job! ❤
"always read and follow the destructions" hahaha 15:50
I hear Blue Devil is great stuff but it didn't necessarily fix the problem. The temp could've been jumping up and down before the Blue Devil because it was low on coolant. Once the motor burns up some coolant it might start getting hot again.
A lot like you brah. When I work on cars and have to wait till something drains or warms up. I look up at sky and see if mothership is coming. Yeeeee!!!
Hi Angel... I watch your videos for a long time. Love to watch them. Big Hug from Portugal. Paulo from the channel RandomTubePT
I love milwaukee power tools.
Yeah I'm going to get one of those
Very nice .. I am Indian Mechanic and I see all videos... very helpful and great work....
How long did the blue devil work on the car before it began leaking again?
I used this stuff and it worked, for a while. Not worth the "destruction" to your engine later on down the line. It will coat outside of your cylinders with that glass like stuff and also solidify at the bottom of radiator making the cooling system work hard to keep car at good temp. I believe it was responsible for a few water pump leaks also. A few months later I still had to get engine rebuilt.
Always read and follow the destructions lol
Don't believe in blue devil this is just a patch job...... Let's tear it down and fix it... I used to have an altima so I know what I'm talking
oh ok. i will just wait till my neighbor has an overheating engine again. let's see how long it lasts.
@@FixItAngel I guess there head is not there badly warp
@@FixItAngel still waiting? Some say one year but the bottle says guarantee...
@andrewcole9605
Just depends on how bad the head gasket damage is! I used the “white label” Blue Devil pour and go in my car 2 years ago and it has not worn down yet!
Hi Angel, did the fix last? Do you know if it still is holding up? Thanks for the update!
It works....!!!
But for how long .. so for now and on ... how much life time do you think 🤔 is still have it before the pressure and temperature take it back at the same situation .....
I am going to use this on my 4.7 dodge ram
Nice vid. It would be nice to see a follow up vid maybe 6 months or so down the road to see how well the sealer holds up.
I used blue devil on a 98 grand an 3 yrs later at 25000 miles a year it was sill going strong It works
By the way when you drain the Blue Devil out put it back in a jug.... it is reusable... though if your car is something you have a lot invested in I would recommend fixing it the correct way... but if it's just something to get you by... go for it..Blue Devil will hook you up if you just need something to get you through...
Kabayan, ipagpatuloy nyo mga videos ninyo, its helping gearheads alot
Another Awesome Video, Always learn something from watching your videos! I am going to try this myself!
Another job well done to help someone out. Hope the fix lasts for them
I tried this product a couple years ago, it didn't work for me, after a week or so the car starting overheating again, had to do a head gasket repair anyways and it wasn't cheap about $40.00. Quick fix but does not last. Other than that you are great mechanic , keep fixing cars.
U really do a great job I love all you teach us to fixing the car problems
Well done mate. How is the car holding up after that work?
