How to fix Head Gasket with K-Seal

Hey guys just uploaded a video of me using K-Seal to fix a head gasket problem on my 2000 TL. I made the video about a couple of weeks ago and so far the seal seems to be holding up I haven't had to add coolant ever since. Check it out!

Why did the head gasket go bad in the first place?

If the engine was overheated then a gasket seal fix will likely only work temporarily as the block and heads are probably warped and the engine is no good. This may not be true in your case but is a common problem on an aluminum block and head setup.

I was just losing coolant slowly. Sealers usually work best when leaks are small which will buy time until I can afford to fix it properly when it comes back. But so far it's worked and the car hasn't shown any side effects from this sealer. I'm still gonna flush the cooling system when it warms up just in case though.
