What your telling us,is you have no intention to repair the vehicle?

If you need a new head gasket, get one.

If we were in 1835, I would say buy a bottle of Doctor Do Good,
but we are in 2010

No product in a bottle is worth your money,injector cleaner,lucas
products,all non sense.just make the proper repairs

you can try it, but read this stuff first. I'd recommend replacing it, but if you haven't the time or money, . . .it sounds like that a lot of people have had success with it. But you can't go wrong with a new gasket Fel-Pro permatorque gaskets are what I use.

What do you think about Steel Seal as a solution to head gasket issues

I also wouldn't recommend you use that stuff. Do the job right the first time and it wont end up costing you more when your cheaper alternative doesn't work.

I have a 97 LHS and the heads gaskets, possibly the heads, i was wondering if i should use the product call

Liquid Steel, Steel Seal, Duralast-all make a product with sodium silicate that is supposed to seal head gasket leaks. Some swear by it, most mechanics say it is a temporary fix or doesn't even work. It is about $90 per application, but check, I think the cost is refunded if it doesn't work. Some people have even bought sodium silicate (liquid glass) at a pharmacy for a few bucks and claim it works. IDK, it might be worth a try, if you just don't want to replace the gaskets. Google it, it's everywhere, even some testimonials on Youtube. Let us know if it works for you.
Good luck.

Heat was working until I added something called Steel Seal. Prior to that, had my water pump, thremostat, and radiator cap replaced because of coolant I was losing, but could not physically see the...

Well Reggie,

You have "steel sealed" your radiator, heater core, water pump, cylinder head ports and every other part of your cooling system. There is no such thing as "mechanic-in-a-can"!

The PROBLEM with the garbage that the parts outlets sell as "fixes" for cooling system leaks (steel seal, radiator stop leak, bars leak, aluma seal, block seal, etc.) is that they WORK!!!! They will stop up your ENTIRE cooling system!

Your problem probably started out as a simple breach in a head gasket. Now, thanks to the "snake oil salesmen" that managed to get your hard-earned money away from you, you will now have to replace the heater core and the radiator in ADDITION to having to fix the head gasket. I just hope that you have not destroyed the cylinder head(s) in the process.

I really wish they would stop selling that stuff.....It invariably does more harm than good! I guess the parts stores like the stuff because now you will have to buy a whole bunch more parts than you would have if you had fixed it correctly to begin with.

Does anyone know if the steel seal works for blown head gaskets?

I used steel seal on a 93 Mazda pickup, it had 130,000 miles and it smoked like a steam engine out the tailpipe, I used the product and now have 189,000 miles and still running great.

I NEED TO DRAIN THE COOLING SYSTEM ON MY KIA SEDONA THE HEAD GASKET HAS GONE AND I AM GOING TO TRY TO REPAIR IT WITH A TREATMENT CALLED STEEL SEAL

I wouldnt recomend this as it may lead to your head getting cracked if it doesnt work and this will cost a lot more than replacing your head gasket.
