Head gasket seeping - advice sought

[WingZr0]

Silver Seal - did this help?

Gary S.

Stay AWAY from this stuff.

Leak is nowhere near as bad but still didn't stop 100%.

Maybe 98%.

You can see a thin line of green along the seem of the gasket.

Took 2-3 days driving to get that much to work.

Dean (my Mechanic) said to use the silver colored Bars Leak but the guy at

Napa said Silver Seal, even though Bars Leak was right next to it.

Should of listiened to Dean :pirate:.

Anycase Dean also mentioned the head beening long as a common

thing for this when first shown the leak but said it be ok for now and

retorqing might do the trick.

Also mentioned he didn't use any gasket sealant at all, I for one had

the idea of the copper spray aswell and would definately used that stuff

on the head had I been putting the engine together.

Don't see any harm in using the copper spray for a

guranteed seal in the future unless someone has a reason not too.

I think I might pull the whole head off again but theres no oil in

in the coolant still so I think Im fine for now.

It's just my opinion but Bars Leak is a better meterial for the

job it's asked to due as Silver Seal is a little bit like Malto Meal consitantsy.
