Outer Limits 4x4 Board

i have a crack in the head gasket of my 1.6L feroza and want to put chemiweld in it to see if that will fix it.

its just a short term solution but is it worth it ?

yep, Buy something called similiar to metal tech. It looks like it has copper shavings in it. its in a clear bottle. Thats is proven to work about 4 times i know of from a stuffed water pump on a tata and a coroeded housing on a rodeo. ALso worked for a head gasket on a carolla i used to own.

Awesome stuff, can buy it a supercheap

Cheers

Fixed a magna I had once for over 18 months till we could afford the replacement. Worked a treat

However, did Jack S for my Patrol recently, which still boiled on every hill and died and untimely death just a few weeks ago.

So that's one for and one against.

if its just the gasket pull the head and do the gasket. no point risking a 2000 dollar head on a 150 dollar gasket

if it was the head i'd say differently

Car-Go is the bomb, it's the stuff pongo is trying to describe. Clear bottle with copper coloured shavings in the bottom, only costs about $10 and is unbelievable stuff.

x3.

Had zero sucess with chemiweld


I recemend stuff called "Silver", comes in a round cardboard tube about 3" long and an inch in diameter.


Magic stuff

As said, aren't you better off to fix it if its just the HG?

My mech said Chemiweld makes fixing it later on an absolute PITA!!

it worked for me.
sold the car within the next 6+ mths so dunno the long term of it.

Where most people stuff up with Chemi-weld is they either dont follow the instructions or the whole in the system is just to big.

Ive had plenty of success with Chemi-weld, we've even used it in rally cars a few times!

Mind you, definately only a short term soloution to get you back home and fix your shit properly. I wouldn't be relying on it to last forever.

The way i drive it it will probably get rolled before the Chemiweld lets go, i did it last night and it worked a treat. decided to really test it and gave it a flogging down windsor rd and it ran great.

its just a temp fix while i build or buy something else.

thanks for the info i'll let you know how long it lasts.

Thats the stuff. My old mans rodeo is still not leaking after 3 years. The leak was that bad that it was spraying everywhere ( Not a trickle) we poured it in and literally watched the leak stop within 10 seconds.

Also i can add a TD 2.8 surf. My bro done a head gasket so he wnet and chucked 2 bottles in and worked a treat.

I would use it then keep an eye on it. Id definatly get it fixed before a big trip just to be sure, But it definatly works.
