Loved this honest appraisal from an obviously honest man from USA. If I wanted my good product appraised you need to speak to this individual

[@Toshifer]

God bless you! Many thanks from Sweden! We all pray that the good forces in America will prevail 2024!

[@davidrobles1239]

Thank you! I used it today 2.7.2024 for my 2004 Porsche Cayenne. I hope it works crossing fingers.

[@dbell9389]

Thank you, I spent $500 in fixing my van and the shop blew my head gasket. I was about to junk it for $200. You saved me.

[@countryboyreviews]

Thanks for the comment! Hopefully your van will stay dependable for you!

thanks! I needed something to keep the truck going while saving up for the intake manifold gasket '87 F150 4.2L

I had a very small leak on the plastic side of the radiator, where one metal tube connects to the automatic transmission.
I patched it with regular acetic silicone (the transparent rubbery stuff) and after the first try it still leaked, however after the second re-patch I didn't notice any more leaks. Let's see how much that will hold.
It's a 1991 Chevrolet Lumina APV 3.1L TBI (later called Silhouette and upgraded to 3.4L, 3.8L and 4 speed tranny).
I replaced its defective PCM with a diy EFI (thanks Dielectric Videos channel for providing instructions). It's simpler than any commercial aftermarket EFI system; it only uses one Air Fuel Ratio map.
I got to a point where the engine idles okay but when revving from 2000 to 2500 RPM, the exhaust sounds bad and the engine seems like it lacks power. After crossing the 2500RPM barrier, it sounds normal and regains power.
Getting to this point, I had to modify the normal 2000RPM (all the way up) AFR of 13 or 12, to 6 (which is the limit of how rich the mixture can be). Letting it at 13 or 12 meant that the engine didn't even cross the 2500RPM - it was like a rev limiter, but the software only has a 4400RPM rev limiter.
I asked the developer of the software about my issue and his guess was that enriching the post 2000RPM AFR compensated for another fuel problem (either blocked or small hoses, obstructed injectors, bad fuel regulator, clogged filter or bad fuel pump).
I inspected the fuel pump and the pressure regulator for cracks, didn't find any; replaced the fuel filter... I don't have a pressure meter though.

[@atomicdmt8763]

works for me! good to follow the directions............ let it cool after running awhile. Run w radiator cap off - purge any air in the system.

[@Head173]

Appreciate the video my dude. You definitely helped me out.

[@arkansasgreg]

Put the exact same thing in my Subaru. Due to its small cooling system, I was suppose to only put in half a bottle. 6k miles and working fine.

[@countryboyreviews]

Thanks for the info! Its definitely a good product to save some cash!

[@arkansasgreg]

@Kaleb Cotnoir Dang. Sounds like you got a mess! Running great. I baby it now since I know how much head gaskets cost.....lol!

[@arkansasgreg]

@@countryboyreviews I might add don't be tempted to put more than the recommended amount. My system is only 1.7 gallons which calls for half a bottle. The Subaru mechanic who recommended this to me specifically warned me about that.....js. Hope it helps!

[@arkansasgreg]

@Kaleb Cotnoir Mycoolant was full so i drained about half a gallon. Put the bars in the radiator then topped it off.

[@countryboyreviews]

@@arkansasgreg Thanks for the info !!!

[@Berto-1117]

My 12 valve cummims was weeping a little bit through a corner, used bars stuff and stoped the leak, its my daily and makes 550hp to the wheels, i figure as long as you dont have cross contamination, this stuff really is miraculous

[@countryboyreviews]

Thanks Alberto

[@trewten5579]

My coworker had a civic that kept pushing all the coolant into the reservoir but never pulled it back into the radiator so that lose of coolant would cause the car to overheat. Turned out he had a small head gasket leak he used this product and 6 months later it's still working good with no issue.

[@chopperdocter]

I used it on my crown Vic awesome job

[@countryboyreviews]

Thanks for letting us know!

[@reddemon52]

Thanks I used K seal it worked for 1 month but it slowed it down but now I'm loosing more coolant the good thing is that my oil is not creamy I'm loosing the coolant somewhere else in the block.. my next additive will be the product you used to be honest I was going to use it first but Kseal was cheaper on sale so I went with that.. long story short Kseal did not work long term for me.

[@countryboyreviews]

Let us know how it works for you!

[@tomstrickland5504]

I used the block seal they have and it worked amazing!

[@countryboyreviews]

Thanks for letting us know Tom!

I have a 2006 Ford Freestyle. I don't know anything bout fixing a car & I have never owned a Ford ...it was actually given to me. So huge blessing. I knew it been sitting for long time. The man said it needed the water pump replaced. But anyway I drove it down the Rd. Went dead few times. Figured it might need an alternator. But the durn thang , got home it was smoking like a freight train. Checked the oil mine looks like a butterscotch milkshake...I went last night and bought this stuff y'all are talking bout. So I do need to change the oil first?? Can anyone tell me if I should replace that water pump first. I'ma single mom and I don't really have the money to take it and have all this done. I'd appreciate any suggestions any of u might have. Thank ye for the video

[@countryboyreviews]

I would definitely change the oil first for sure Keesha. You either have a blown head gasket or a cracked block , This may seal it up for you and save you a couple thousand dollars , definitely worth a try. Also if the water pump is bad it will need to be replaced but your car may just be overheating because of the Head Gasket.

[@johnduncan7039]

I just used this on a 2006 equinox and it seems to be working
It’s pretty cool for a 3500 dollar car

[@fat70girl]

Great vid. I heard the talk show guru talk about steel seal in the past with no failures. At that time it was $80 or $90 dollars. Thanks for putting up this video for a product that is much more reasonable to buy. You mention chevy 350 throttle body. Where to start with zero idle without constant throttle input? Thanks in advance.

[@countryboyreviews]

Thanks for the comment! I put it in and let in run with the heat wide open... It really does seal up those gaps !

My minivan over heated on interstate and the coolant was pouring out of a crack in the tail pipe...I checked the oil oil looks fine. Thermostat works good..no misses...no leak around the engine...just the bad leak around the catalytic converter..I'm thinking it's a intake leak...I loose about a gallon or more of coolant after it get to warm temperatures..I tried blue devil but I think the leak is too big for it...I hope this works..I'm getting some today....

[@countryboyreviews]

Hopefully it worked for you Joe!

[@Robinhood179]

So after the fix should you drain the coolant and replace with regular coolant to get some of that sealer out so it wont clog anything?

[@johnwick-ii6il]

Definitely seen enough good recommendations. I guess I'll gamble the $$$ and cross my fingers.

[@Daniel-xq7ny]

Hi. I have a 2008 Rav4 with the 3.5L v6 engine. I have no symptoms at all, but I saw a little pink , (calcium like) dried patch. I don't know if my vehicle leaked at acertain time and stopped, or it a very minor outer leak. But I will try this and it should prevent and stop it in the tracks.

[@countryboyreviews]

How about if all engine oil goes in to the radiator? This stuff can help?

[@countryboyreviews]

Hey there , Thanks for the comment! Sounds to me like you have a blown head gasket... I would flush the radiator out and add fresh coolant and give this stuff a try, it may save you alot of money! Let us know how it works out...

[@dannysautorepair]

Great video thanks , hope you get better

[@countryboyreviews]

Thank you Danny !

[@martinhuguet4822]

My 2001 Aztek overheats. I used this product 6 months ago. Now it's overheating again within 10 minutes of driving. The coolant blows out my overflow. When I originally put the bars leek in I put it in my overflow. It plugged up my overflow tube. And half of it never got in my engine. Then it eventually blew out my overflow. This time I'm putting directly in my radiator. I think it will work and hold longer until I can afford a garage fix. What say you?

[@countryboyreviews]

Definitely put it in your radiator Martin. I would give it a try it will more than likely work. Thanks for watching!

[@atomicdmt8763]

sounds like a bad RADIATOR CAP! faulty cap will not keep under pressure so coolant will boil and push out through the overflow. Just happened to me on 2 vehicles (i swappped over a bad cap) ......both solved w new caps. $6 per. seems the smaller spring failed for the draw back from the overflow resi..... so wasnt keeping under pressure.

[@romanm9718]

Is it still holding up? How many miles has it run since you put it in the coolant?

[@joeorlando94]

Did you remove any of the spark plugs or disconnect any injectors on any of the cylinders that were burning coolant? Bar's says you don't need to do this, but Steel Seal (and Scotty Kilmer) recommend doing this.

[@countryboyreviews]

No I didn’t and it still worked good Joe.

[@thegreat-pl5gz]

I have a small coolant leak otherwise my car runs fine. Occasionally it miss while accelerating. Bubbles in rad. Other then that no visible leak. Should I try this ?

[@countryboyreviews]

I would give it a try asap !

[@thegreat-pl5gz]

@@countryboyreviews I went with blue devil pour n go. My mechanic friend helped me. I just asked him to flush system. When i got back he had already started process. Saying pour n go didn't need t stat removed bc also my system was clean from new rad and using water all summer. Bout gave me heart attack but it's done now. The idling already seems better no overheat. The real test in my situation will be if I have to add water daily.

[@carriewitt3645]

How do I determine if my coolant is dirty and needs flushed first or not ? Thank you!

[@countryboyreviews]

You can drain some from the radiator and see if there are things floating around or it has alot of nasty particles in it , if it does then flush it! If not you should be good to go!

It did for me James

[@CarlosTorres_19]

My 89 Sierra blows smoke out when I rev the engine what could be the problem would this help

[@countryboyreviews]

It depends on the color of the smoke? If the smoke looks white then it could be coolant leaking into your combustion chamber which could mean a blown head gasket. If that is the case I would give this a try before I spent the 1000 plus dollars to get it fixed at a shop. This stuff actually works a huge percent of the time , just follow the directions and drive it some and see if it clears up!

Why did it take 2 days

[@reddemon52]

I used it but my heat stopped working .. maybe heater core got plugged! I have to see

[@reddemon52]

Do you think it will plug the heater core?

[@countryboyreviews]

That was a concern of mine but it didn't, I honestly think the odds are very low for it to clog the heater core because of the consistency of the mixture... Give it a try it might work for you and save you alot of money
