It worked on my mother's 1996 bmw 520i e34.
Symptoms: white sweet smoke, not extreme but noticiable .
She was lucky because it overheated once and the head was not deformed.
I guess it was a small leak in the head gasket.
I watched this video before try it, so thank you for sharing your experience.

How's the Head Gasket now? Car still running
@@diamondabsolutes4505 yes.
I've used this a few times it's always work for me you got to catch it right in the beginning.
I recently noticed my ford focus occasionally had a little bit of the white smoke so I put a thing of K-seal in as more of a preventative as these are notorious for fluid intrusion into the cylinders.
So far so good but when it starts to get really cold below zero it will tell me how it did this time
When you say you got to catch it right in the beginning, what do you mean? I’ve also got a Ford focus and mines got a bit of white smoke and my engine coolant is definitely leaking
Thanks man. 2000 4runner with head gasket issue. Going to pick that up and try it. I'll post results tomorrow👍
Worked for me today. My issue was exhaust into the coolant system. I had no coolant into the oil. I introduced the Kseal into my top radiator hose 2/3 and 1/3 top of radiator. I also bled the thermostat housing which is important
Do NOT put pure k seal into the radiator put the k seal in water or it will clog the radiator
Sounds like you found out the hard way
You can do that Mayb you got unlucky I did it with my 98 Ford F-150 with a radiator leak and it sealed it up
I'm a mom of 3, in Chicago. I have a 2011 Jeep Wrangler Rubicon. I had #6 & #4 cylinder misfires. Turned out, coolant present when the 6 & 4 spark plugs were pulled out.. I was told my Head Gasket had a leak. No smoke, no overheating etc. Nothing, just coolant disappearing after about 2 or 3 wks, then all of the sudden gone overnight. Only one time did it "shake" on first start of the day. All other 1st starts are hesitant, and then fine after about 15-20 seconds. 3 mechanics said HG are not "fixed" or "replaced" and that the entire engines have to be replaced with having a "leak". I'm a woman, but even I know that's total BS!!! The stealerships in Illinois are also horrible crooks and liars! Even stole parts off my special edition Jeep! Cannot be trusted.
We're a low-income family and I just bought a can of K-Seal today. I'm going to "try" to fix this myself after I research some more. If there's anybody in Illinois that is familiar with this stuff and head gasket leaks, I'd appreciate a friend RN, and some info/help. Thanks everybody. And thanks for this post Jabo The Mechanic.
Did it work?
I used K-Seal twice on my 06 GMC Envoy Denali, but it didn't hold. The coolant is leaking, but not into the oil and there's no white smoke - but it only takes 60 miles of driving and it starts to overheat. I'll need to get a mechanic to do the head gasket repair.
For a 4 cylinder 1.9 liter engine, do I need to pour the whole bottle? Or should I just do half?
Hole bottle
yeah K seal been around for a minute
Well I'm going to try it on a Northstar engine and see what happens. Anyone who is a mechanic knows how they are. So we'll see. Thanks for making the video
Me to the North Star you going to need k seal ultimate
Jay is cute as hell to me
Where I can get this k seal in South Africa
this works, no shit! have a 4th generation chrysler minivan 3.8 v6 which i was stupid enough to say 'close enough' with the anti-freeze 'percentage' last winter. [kind of a headache i was working on, and hardly cared. "i'll put some more concentrate in later."] well, that super cold snap came. Early spring i pulled dipstick casually, and it was 'milkshake'! boy, was i mad/ sad. so i did put some k-seal in, -and that was IT! an 'old timer' i know said the crack was probably in the head [or both heads?] and not the block, as the narrow coolant passages there tend to be the first to crack. But regardless, here is a bona fide case of k-seal 'sealing' a 'cracked engine block'! and i've BEEN driving the van, a little nervous now, for several months. no sign of any more coolant getting in oil! [that's what 'milkshake' means.] and i've gone on several 'road trips' of over 60 miles one way too. it may help that this type of motor is an 'overhead valve' type, like chevy v-8's...
[for 'full disclosure' i did add blue devil to coolant too, but like a week later, just for 'insurance', [b.d. 'pour-n-go'], but k-seal was ALREADY working before that, so motor ran w/ no milkshake after.]
Bro how long did it keeps up
My 2005 honda accord has white smoke when i start it but it goes away after about a minute. But it has some rough starts so going to try this stuff.
Same here but with Odyssey van.Now the oil looks watery
i use it all the time....like it
My car was using coolant on long trips, and there was bubbles on the radiator, I didn’t have the money to change the head gasket rn soo I just found out about these sealer’s and bought the K seal, drained and clean the whole system put new coolant on it and the k seal, let it idle for 30 minutes, then let it cool for 3 hours, again idle for 30 minutes and cool for the rest of the night, about 10 hours, there’s no bubbles, doesn’t smell like coolant getting burned and doesn’t smell like gasoline on the reservoir.
Does it still work if you don't un-plug leaking spark plug / corresponding fuel injector?
Going to try this product in my 02 ford ranger but it's very cold outside please wish me luck
Hi. Do you need to get an oil change and coolant flush after using K-Seal? Thanks.
I would think you don't need to because there is no liquid glass in it and doesnt harm the engine
No, you do not.
I used k seal on a 2001 infiniti qx4 3.5L about a month ago. 249K miles on it, only added 300 miles since the treatment, good so far.
That's great to hear
How manny bottles did you use one or two?
@@dangelomastrianni6007 I used one bottle. 1500 miles later, still good.
@Charlie Harper Yes, it is still running great.
@@aaronhanna6703 nice I have a 2007 Infiniti g35 sedan with s 3.5 and it pushed out coolant ti reservoir when I drive really fast or drive at 90mph if I driver Normal it won’t push out to reservoir, I will use some kseal as it’s only a leak and not full blown
Blue Devil didn't work for me. K Seal is great!
I have coolant bubbling in my reservoir and the reservoir tank fills to the top after a short drive plus the temperature gauge spikes and returns to normal as soon as I accelerate.
I used k seal .
Removed top rad hose and poured it into cold engine then took car for a 15 minutes drive and left it run idle after the drive for 10minutes the k seal did absolutely nothing to fix the problem.
The cooling system needs the air to be purged out. Air is introduced into the cooling system any time you pour coolant or anything into the radiator. I had that problem when I added K-Seal until I took my radiator cap off, put a funnel in its place then squeezed the main rad hoses until I didn't see air bubbles coming from the top of rad. Then I kept the engine revved to 1500 until no more bubbles came from the coolant. Not only did the K-seal work on my heater core, my car doesn't overheat anymore. I realized how important this step is after that.
You're not supposed to drive it at the beginning with this stuff. Pour it in when the engine is cold, let it idle on its own for 30 minutes, turn the engine off, let it get cold (preferably overnight), repeat the process the next morning and it should work.
Do I have to flush the old antifreeze mixed with K-Seal after the leaks sealed ? If so how soon
Yes
Not really but it would be a good idea to flush after a couple days or a week
You do not need to flush it out.

Hi all! My 2004 4runner has been misfiring on cylinder #2. After new plugs/engine coils, replced fuel injector, the check engine light came back. No white smoke, no over heating, just shaking on cold start, then good. My mechanic friend said 99% sure its cracked gasket. I bought Kseal ultimate for gasket, poured it into the reservoir in the store parking lot, drove around for 20 mins, then parked for the night. Next morning, no shaking at startup. By lunch time, the check engine light cleared itself. 2 weeks later(Yesterday morning) it started shaking again on start up & check engine light on again. I checked the code, still saying misfire on #2. Did i not use the Kseal correctly the 1st time? Does anyone have any suggestions? Im a single mom who LOVES her 4runner and Cannot afford a new car right now! Especially here in So cal!! 😢
Sounds like a cracked head or burnt valve. No cheap fix unfortunately. Better off buying a used engine from a junk yard.
My 05 corvette is loosing antifreeze and my oil is fine and I'm not over heating but i changed my thermostat and reservoir cap and I did see some white smoke at start but not as bad as in your video so do you think kseal can help mine? Thanks in advance
worked for me on my 2002 mercury mountaineer
Was there antifreeze in the system when you added the K seal?
Cannot beleive that someone can smoke this s...
bruno fernandes
Amazing
In your experience, how long has the seal held up?
Still holding strong
@@JaboTheMechanic nice, any approximate miles?
About 15k miles
Can i pour it into the reservoir instead of radiator?
Yes, that's how I used it in my F150. It was a bigger bottle of this stuff. Do not rev the engine. Let it get to temp at idle.
Thanks for the video Jabo. I just tried K-Seal in my Nissan Xtrail. Fingers crossed. Mine wasn’t near as bad as yours so we will see how this goes. Will keep everyone updated. 😃👍
How is it working on xtrail please update
Update?
Update?
Was is k seal ultimate?
Its for very cold areas.
@@joestar8678 its very cold in anartica.
Do you have to remove the thermostat?
Hi mate, just wondering for how long does it last the repair??? Do you have any idea? I'm in Australia and I don't know if buying a k-seal bottle or the bar's leaks head gasket fix 1 step (branded as rislone in Australia). Kseal is $25 and the Rislone bottle is like $90 here in Sydney, big difference in price but I see many people using the kseal, thanks for your video!!!
Use k seal. It us best
I've had bars become an issue as well
Claims to be a permanent fix I too have my doubts, but I'm not above putting another bottle in if necessary.
Do i need to let it seat overnight?
Please stop selling snake oil fixes. I know you get paid good from the sealer company. There is not even one dollar worth of value in this product.
Someone drank a little too much antifreeze didn't they buddy
I’m only one minute in and I hope he’s only joking lol. Don’t put any sealant in your car unless it’s a junker and you don’t care 🤷🏽♂️
You're wrong bitch
@@hamburglr1 lol
I have a 2005 dodge gran caravan.I put this in for a slight head gasket issue.because my van was starting to overheat some..wothin seconds the temp gauge went back to normal.and has stayed that way for a month now.with no further issues..
What a fool you are. I got a $1,600 estimate to replace head gasket on 2004 1.5L Honda Civic. 1 bottle of Ultimate K-Seal directly into the engine top tube (not radiator), 20 minute idle, cool, then 20 minute idle then cool overnight. 10,000 miles later? . . . no coolant burn.
Clearly you don’t know about cars
