Head Gasket Repair

[marc]

Hello,


My Ford Focus has recently started to have water entering the combustion chamber. This results in a decrease in coolant level in the reservoir. After consulting with my mechanic, he recommended a repair involving the cylinder head gasket. However, I came across some online products for repairing cylinder head gaskets, and there are even dedicated videos about it on YouTube!

Have you ever tried using this type of product? If so, is it effective? Here is the product in question.

Short term fix? I don’t think so….causes more problems than cures.

Get the head off, have it checked properly ( surface flatness and a pressure test for any internal leaks ) and fit a new gasket….
