- Опубликовано: 4 дек 2017
- Long Story short. Buddy over heated his car. we tried taking out the thermostat to see if it still over heats and it did. tried taking out all the air bubbles from the system couple times still no luck. tried almost everything and coolant kept bubbling up in the reservoir of the car so 99% sure it was head gasket. so here we trying this cheap fix from blue devil and see if it works! Thanks for watching!

Just so people know for future, if there is no radiator cap, you should pour it into the top radiator hose, NOT THE OVERFLOW TANK
You can put it in the radiatior resivor but yes do not put jack in the over flow lol its for exactly that over flow
ONE YEAR UPDATE:
Car is down. head gasket cracked, lasted around 10k miles. pretty good for a bandage Temporary fix! Thanks everyone for watching!
TheRustyCracker so you had water in the res along with the bluedevil? Or is it blue devil by its self
water and bluedevil @@latoyawright3900
10,000 milea..thats pretty good..you know this was a tempo repair,untill you get the money for a head gasket set
TheRustyCracker is it ok to use the recommended blue coolant for my honda or do I have to use water? Mines mover got all the way hot. I noticed it going a little above the half mark on the dash so I shut it off while driving. Bin having to add coolant every weekend since. And does the thermostat need to be out? I’ve already had the water pump timing belt and tensioner replaced.
Greg Mccarter my local Subaru shop said they wouldn’t want to do the heads after because this stuff gunks up everything and the heads need to be pressure washed clean when gaskets finally get done.
Used this to fix a 98 monte carlo 3.8 with a leaking intake/head gasket, just added it directly to the radiator and idled the car for an hour with the heater on high (as per the directions on the bottle) and it worked like a charm...no coolant loss after 3 years and 35,000 miles!
Hello was it the yellow Hello
Can you advise can the HEAD GASKET REPAIR AND SEALER FIX - HEATER CORES - FREEZE PLUGS WARPED / CRACKED you used or the white one. Also did you flush the radiator first?
Hey man for getting scammed and buying a car with a blown head gasket you sure made my day. Funny and informative, thanks mate
I used on my Mazda MPV 1998, the car has head gasket leak from coolant to piston. I followed the instruction to the letter and it seal the gasket. I have about 10,000 miles now and it is still holding strong. I did not believe the mechanic in a bottle before but now I am a true believer. Thanks for the Blue Devil.
1:24 " Straight to a bucket"...man, I was literally crying at that comment :)
Yeah you could see it was straight to the ground.
Lmao. Me too. Lmao. Where was the bucket That day 🪣 ??
Hooooo. e ' HOSE haha
This guys an idiot
I put that stuff in an old Plymouth Grand Voyager. The head itself was cracked much worse than Blue Devil claims to be able to fix, but it worked. Still driving the van daily one year later.
Blue devil worked great for my 05 Silverado. I drove the truck without any concerns for another 50K+ miles. I did rebuild it eventually but not due to over heating or head gasket issues. Just thought it was time at 295K miles and when the trans went out... Follow the directions exactly on the bottle. Of course there will always be exceptions.
Wow. Thanks 🙏🏿 for your review
I like that invisable bucket all that coolent mixed with oil is going into, wow.
I thought I was the only one who noticed. He was confident he was catching it in a bucket.
Bro best thing ever, no more hesitation, no more white smoke... I was literally going to junk this camry
Update does it still run ?
Been having similar issues with my 2001 Camry. Does your car still run well?
@@Jojoliyecheri my mother had a 1999 Impala with a ton of issues, when she bought a new car she tried to trade it in and they wanted to charge her $100 bucks to junk it lol brought it to 2 different mechanics both said junk it not worth the money. I told my mom let me have it. Long story short by watching a ton of RUclips replacing small things myself and using Blue Devil fluids for more then one issue (head gasket, transmission, oil leak etc.) I ended up having that car for another 2 years as my daily driver. When everyone said it was shot and beyond repair. I put about $300 bucks into it with basic fluid flushes, oil changes, and the different Blue Devil fluids. They work wonders! I ended up selling the car and the next owner drove that thing for 2 more years !!! (Not sure what work they had to do though) it ended up in a junk yard ironically in the new town I moved into lol. But yea sorry for the long story but it 100% is worth the investment because the fluids aren't cheap but it's alot cheaper then the repairs
I didn't do any of that.. just simply added it to the radiator very slowly ran the car for a little over an hour with the heat on and was good.. car still works great 2 years later.
yea the bottle you used is called pour and go blue devil gasket sealer.... the one I got is more expensive and you have to do all this work
Jonathan Houle nice
Jonathan Houle really???
Jonathan Houle what was da systom of urs.
Chula N Morena i used blue devil small bottle. My car is a 90 4cyl Honda hatch.. results may very by vehicle..
I fixed a cracked head on a 8.1 Chevy that had water constantly running out of the tailpipe.Sat and watched the water stop running.impressive shit.
I have the same problem water coming out of the tailpipe I want to try a product like this but I my AC system isn't working, do you think it would still work?
TopClass Music yea
Was about to tear down my motor but now going to do this and do a video. Thanks for uploading. Looks like a ton of people had a good experience
Its worth trying. I had an 03 ram with 175k. One morning i had full coolant loss and smoked the entire street. Put this stuff in. Held for over 60k miles and 4 more years before engine quit completely. Do it.
used it in Bonneville GM 3800 to seal intake, worked great. I flushed system twice to clean out the dex kill first.
Did Scotty Kilmer teach you that trick... I took out the leaking cylinder plug and ran it 30 min , waited an hour 3x then let it sit overnight. No steam out the pipe, But I retorqued the head which were way too loose. 20,000 miles later all is well ..
Good Stuff and good video..
Thanks
I have a 2002 Ford E250 V6, for 12 yrs now and with 376,000. Found chocolate milk in the oil pan. I had thought that the water was getting in by way of the head gaskets, but there was nothing in the tailpipe. Use Pour n Go by pouring it into the top radiator hose. It worked. Didn't have to remove the thermostat. I believe it was leaking somewhere at the lower intake manifold.
Thank you putting out the effort and experience you had! I know I appreciated it and it looks like a bunch of other people as well.
Does it matter if there's still coolant in the radiator?. Or should you flush the radiator first
adding this to my bucket list!
I have a 2006 Kia Spectra that had a head gasket leak which would drain radiator in about 150 miles. I tried Blue Devil, took me most of a day to drain out coolant, run with cleaner, change thermostat etc. But the upshot is that Blue Devil sealed the leak and it's still OK approximately 17.000 miles later....that's just about as "permanent" as you could ask for $65.
I used Bars Head Gasket Sealer Repair on my Jaguar XF. I didn't have to drain or flush the radiator. I got excellent results the check engine light went out, it stopped missing runs correctly and there is no smoke from the driver's side tailpipe. My car had never been hot and the mechanic said it was blown to the cylinder. I also had no water in the oil. Due to the aluminum block in my car I was told I'd need to replace the engine at a cost of 8-10 thousand dollars. It's been 2 weeks and the car is still running well and has lost no coolant. As far as I'm concerned I believe the Bars Leak Seal worked.
Now it just has to last until I trade in the car. Which will be ASAP!
lol yea your first mistake was getting a jaguar
Worked for me, I used the Bigger bottle. Flushed, took out the radiator twice. Took out the thermostat. Let it cool over night. Awesome stuff
yup... if you do it right... it should work.
Dennis Thompson can you help me bro
This is for Blue Devil Head Gasket Sealer in the large bottle. NOT the smaller bottle "pour n go".
4 years ago my 1994 chevy lumina Z34 with 119,000 miles started to overheat. Water, steam out the tailpipe, bubbles in the radiator and such. Never believed in the mechanic in a can. Followed the instructions EXACTLY!! MUST BE DONE EXACTLY as it says on the bottle or it won't work. It's a pain in the ass to do but it's worth it!! So now the car has over 150,000 miles on the engine it still is fine! I am amazed this stuff worked!! Saved me thousands on the head gasket replacement!!! This product has NO particles in it that can clog up your radiator or other tight places within the water system. It is crystal clear. And if anybody knows the 3.4 engine, to work on it is a major pain in the ass... The damn thing is shoe horned in. You need to pour it into the radiator directly if you have that option. My car only needed about half the bottle according to the chart on the bottle. Also used this stuff on my friends Chrysler LaBaron and it worked for him also!! Blue Devil, Live Long and Prosper!!!!
Does it really work for the vehicle my car is running hot
Really wish I'd checked into this, before tearing my engine down. Not sure it would have worked, but it would have been worth trying. You're right about it being a pain in the ass, and after getting it apart, I found that both heads were warped, so probably a good thing I tore it down, but I still would have liked to try this first. I'm almost ready to start reassembly, and I'm dreading it, because there's just no room.
I just used it on a 2008 Lexus ES 350. Crossing my fingers for the best or at least 50K miles. Is your Chevy still running. Let me know dude 👊
Will it work on a VW beetle? I have a blown head gasket but my oil was great looking.If so,how long will it last? Can I keep using it if it does work? I'm new to this! Only had the car 4 months long.
Did the blue devil treatment over 3 years ago. 60,000+ miles.... still good
Was the crack bad?
@@kiroshi6414 apparently not if it lasted 60K miles after the repair... lol
It was probably an external engine block leak ,, this dude had it internal
That’s because you didn’t have a head gasket leak you probably just had white smoke from an intake manifold gasket leak.
@@mj-7444 i sold the truck last August. It was blown head gasket at cyl 7.
I just used it on my 2005 acura tl, it had bubbles in the radiator, and even had smoke bubbling out of the radiator, and moisture coming out of the tailpipes.... Now all that has stopped, AND its twice as fast again.. It bout gave me whiplash when i gassed it. .. Hell yeah, it saved my baby, the best car ive ever owned, and i 100% reccomend it..!
I want to try this product I don't want to waste my money my symptoms are like yours I scale through the comments to look at symptoms my symptoms is low compression and bubbling back into the radiator no smoke at all I have no smoke at all no oil mixing maybe I just have ring issues cars running now like that for two months I want to try this product what do you think again my issues are cars bubbling back through the radiator we take the radiator cap off the water gushes and low compression sounds like a Harley Davidson had a compression test done was like 85 95 and yes it's a turbo car turbo Ford probe GT 1989 four-cylinder just wondering what your thought is
@@rickblack7649 I cant tell you enough, that you need to do this. When my Acura had smoke coming out the top of the radiator, Ijust k ew it was time for a new engine... But my friend was there and he told me abiut Blue Devil...
Dude, I was, and still am amazed at th8s stuff.
Do it, you will be pleasantly surprised.
Blew the head gasket on my '97 Jeep Wrangler with 186K miles. White smoke from exhaust and bubbling in the overflow, and it was leaking like a sieve below the manifold...however I didn't identify any water or vapor mixed with the oil. When it overheated, it also blew the seals in the radiator. After replacing the radiator, I attempted to administer the Blue Devil Head Gasket Sealer. THAT is when I discovered that the primary culprit...the catalyst for the entire dilemma was the water pump. I wasn't able to flush the system as the coolant wouldn't flow. So, water pump replaced and THOROUGHLY flushed coolant system. As opposed to this video, I added the sealer directly to the radiator, NOT the overflow reservoir. SKIP TO THE END....THIS SHIT ACTUALLY WORKED! Maintains constant 210° temperature, no leaks and runs like a top. So thankful! As it is a Jeep and NEVER heated up significantly in the winter, I opted NOT to install the thermostat. Figure it'd just increase the probability of overheating again, especially if the heater core were to become clogged. 2 thumbs up for BD products!
Il
Mine lasted about 5,600 miles before it failed. Not bad. But it ended up being the freeze plug. Large hole that was a little harder to seal. But great job and great memories from the 5,600 miles driven. Would've lasted longer if the hole was smaller.
I used the pour and go, didnt work right away, took a few start stop cycles to do its job, but now its holding steady. This is an off road trail jeep, lots of hard driving, pressure on cooling system. Still holding three years later. 155,000 miles 1996 jeep 4.0 very happy, w no issues with plugged heater core or radiator. I didn't believe it myself.
That’s odd because it can only be activated by the heat one time.
I used the blue devil seal about 3 years ago on a 98 Toyota sienna and I didn't flush the coolant at all I just poured it in the reservoir and it worked
Almost too good to be true! I'll sure try it, when I need to.
Thanks for posting this. My 02 civic has been overheating for a few weeks now, replaced the thermostat but also found out one of the hoses was loose so that's where I was loosing water. Fixed the hose and thermostat and keeping a close eye on the water and it hasn't overheated yet. But my mechanic buddy swears by this stuff and said I should put some in just to be safe, I think I'll pick some up tomorrow.
I have the same I might have to pick some up
Blue Devil is the real deal. I couldn't believe it but it's worth every penny.
Didn't work for me. Had it in the system for 2 weeks. It helped though
@@sedric6153 really I just used the transmission kind and it worked for me again. And fast.
People who use this product and then immediately trade the car in, do they realize the next person to own the car is going to be screwed? You should bring a mechanic to test the coolant to see if an additive was added. Most definitely buy an aftermarket warranty.
People do this to make money that’s it lol
You telling people to buy an aftermarket warranty is just as harmful than this. Those warranties are not worth the paper they are printed on and if this were to fail and you had the warranty they would deny the claim.
I had about a pint of water per minute coming out of tailpipe. 6.2 diesel school bus. Removed thermostat and followed directions exactly. Within 10 minutes the water slowed to a trickle and within 40 minutes the water totally stopped. Smoke was gone as well. It's been a few days but fingers crossed it will hold up for a year or two. This stuff is really a miracle in a bottle 🧞♀️
NICE! yea good luck man. its definitely a bandage tho.
Stephen herceg is it still holding, the initial situation is very impressive
His car went down after 10,000 more miles not bad for about. A 65 dollar fix that gives you time to fix it right or buy another one thanks for the vid I just found this in August 2019
Oh crap , I guess I'm next ‼️😅 i have a situation with a Jetta TDI and i can see white smoke from the muffler and over heating problems so ill keep you posted guys and be part of the proud people like you fellas her we go I'm going to read the instructions more than once 😅 just to be sure 👍🏻 wish me luck 🙏🏻
I have a 07 pontaic torrent white smoke is coming out my tailpipe. Will this work for my torrent?
1:24 - Yeah, I saw it. That's a very nice bucket. ;-)
Hi Man I just want to say thank for this video/updates and all reply back to all.. This is how should Internet should work with helping pp... Keep a good work, all the best to you and your closed ones..
AGREED!!👍👍
At 1:25secs I became an instant subscriber.. Loved this dude it made my stressed out ass instantly bust up laughing.. I really really needed that and after that point I was relaxed and confidence came pouring back into me.. Thank you for this vid by the way. You honestly were the only one out of countless vids ive seen that hit on the head exactly the way it should be done.. Well done boss.
Will this work on a leaking heater core????????
Blue devil is some awesome stuff. Used it on at least 5 different engines. Fixed every headgasket issue.
Do you keep thermostat removed when pouring in the blue devil
@@sedric6153 I didn't with the pour and go one.. That one the lady at AutoZone said you don't have to take out the thermostat so I didn't . I used it a few days ago and so far so good. Before I put that stuff in I couldn't go 8 miles down the road without being out of fluid and my engine getting hot. Think I'm good now ,knock on wood. Haven't lost any fluid so far.
@@backyardbuck6362 im tempted to try this stuff on my 99 civic..im just nervous on messing up the inside in the long run
@@JC-tu2ku IDK about it messing up anything in the long run . You may want to do some research to find out. I have heard of some people saying that it could clog up the heater core though. I have a lot of miles on my truck so I figured I'd try it. Still working good for me but you might want to dig around a little more research and see what others have experienced. Good luck.
@@backyardbuck6362 thankyou brother..cheers!!
Those GM engines have bleeder screws on the coolant system that need to be bled to release trapped air in the coolant system. 🛠
Mine broke
LOL!!!! I'm enjoying these conversations (I just put some blue devel in my mustang and it's been idled for 30 minutes now; I will give you all an update soon). You are almost at that 1000 subs
Welding and stuff how is it going so far ? Still working ?
LOL!!!! the blue devil didn't do nothing don't waste your time with it; I'm selling this car "tired of it" ruclips.net/video/Ew6WMueLGLY/видео.html
I have a leaking water pump possibly also besides a possibility blown head gasket. Would it be better to try the sealer 1st. Or change the water pump 1st. I'm thinking If I do the water pump first, I wouldn't want the sealer to gunk it up.
UPDATE: 6 MONTHS HAS GONE BY AND HE BLEW UP HIS WATERPUMP. MAYBE BECAUSE OF THE BLUE DELVIL? BUT WE WILL BE CHANGING THE PUMP AND SEE IF IT OVER HEATS AFTER THAT.
Changed the waterpump and now she is good again. no over heating... bluedevil still working.
This is good news for me. I'm about to throw some of this down my Buick and cross my fingers haha.
waterpump couldve been damaged from how hot it got originally when he blew it and just gave out its what happened to my 05 taurus
TheRustyCracker if anything the seals on the pump may have been going bad to begin with. You sealed the system up with bluedevil, that put pressure in it, the weak spot in the pump finally gave out, it took out the pump bearings. So worse case scenario here was a weak pump... no big deal really, it happens anyways.
Thanks for the update
Worked good on my 04 Dodge neon 164k miles, we'll see how long it lasts.
MegaHugro NICE!
Still working ?
Is it still going?
Ok I need some help or suggestions I have a cracked head gasket inside my 1999 Subaru legacy outback and the shit smokes bad under the hood about 6 minutes as I drive it, but it doesn't hit the H it just stays half way on the thermostat How can I fix it without paying money?
Great update. $50 bottle bought one year of use.
It work's
Stuff worked great for me! I had milky oil and white steam coming out of the exhaust and the whole bit. I followed instructions exactly as I read them besides the idling time and even checked each spark plug to see which cylinder it was leaking into. I idled my truck for an hour and then took the spark plug out of the leaky cylinder (and disconnected the injector) and let it idle for another 40 minutes with that cylinder open so that no pressure would push back against the sealer. No more missing coolant!!! 👍👍
yup works on most peoples cars. but not all
Did Scotty Kilmer teach you that trick... I took out the leaking cylinder plug and ran it also. But I retorqued the head which were way too loose. 20,000 miles later all is well ..
Did you need to change the oil twice? Once before putting in the Blue Devil and again after it had run for the hour?
Wow, an invisible bucket!!!😜
Saw that too! Lol
That’s what I said
Right lol
I'm getting fuel mixed into the coolant system. Will thus sealant correct this problem?
So far so good is a good thang= good video fix thanks so much guys.
I think it worked for me because I've stopped getting the misfires and all four cylinders on my 98 honda civic were having misfires. Now I just have to wait and see if the antifreeze evaporates. If it does with out the return of the misfires I will thoroughly check for a leak. Not sure if I should pressure test I'm kind of scared it must break the gasket again lol😂🤣😂
Money mafia did it lasy
The bottle literally says don’t put it in the overflow reservoir..
I was actually noticing that too
Great video!! you guys look like brothers.
Já tedy nevím ale nemá se lít kapalina do chladiče a né do expanzky?
so work or no my main concern is what about plugging up radiator and heater core as with most stop leaks
No need this has nothing that harms heater cores or the motor thats why you are able to leave it in the cooling system and you dont have to drain it after the cycle my uncle did this in his 08 Tacoma 4.0 and it lasted till he traded the truck in over 2 years later and between that time it had alot of mud slinging and car hauling done with it so it does matter if you have a minor to moderate head gasket leak or a full on exhaust and oil side blow out it will hold for a short time with a bad blown head gasket but other than that it will hold for a really long time
The ground makes a great bucket? LOL
Do you have to leave your thermostat out or can you put it back in and still be sealed??
Since U used water with the blue devil did U drain the water out and put fresh coolant in after?
WTF? You said that it was draining into a bucket. Like an invisible bucket?
Carlyle Tom yea you didn’t see the bucket?
@@TheRustyCracker lol
😂😂 I said that too 🤷🏽♀️😔😂
all he had to do was Look at it! He would have seen the bucket...Some people don't even Look At IT...WTF
So i’m gonna do this to my car tomorrow. chrysler 300 06 It keeps overheating because of this how long do you think this will last?
Morgan Lemons maybe 10k miles maybe 2 miles it all depends on the issue
Aw man I thought this was a permanent fix 😭😭😭
Hey guys. I have a 98 nissan almera 1.6 litre (16 valves) with hole in head gasket. it doesnt have a white smoke but it overheats on hi revs and it consumpes oil and water like 1 litre per 1000 miles. I cleaned a radiator and removed my thermostat. my question is after i put Blue devil can i run the car without thermostat? and what is better after the blue devil treatment? filtered water or coolant? or can i mix between them?
this stuff didnt work, how do i clean up the dried stuff in the engine bay? (came out over flow bottle as it has a bad head gasket) i tried so manythings.
"Straight to a bucket" lol
What be wrong with you? You got a life? You just a hater...
it's going straight to a bucket? what bucket? lmao
He's joking
I'm about to get a bottle myself and wondering which one I should add.
First issue i had was coolant leaking into my floor board, so i bypassed the heater core with a coupling. (Plugs are dry just burning up quickly) then coolant keeps back flowing into reservoir completly emptying engine and radiator dry until it instantly overheats maxing the out temp gauge. At first I thought stuck thermostat, so I replaced it with a fail-safe thermostat that gets stuck open of it does get stuck. That seemed to work at first, but then the same issue came back again. Any suggestions on which bottle of blue devil to add? V6 4.3 liter engine.
not sure man I would go with he bigger bottle for sure.
Instructions do not make sense it says to take out the thermostat but without the thermostat the water /bluedevil leaked out of the thermostat housing (toyota supra turbo) Any suggestions please? (its hot and i m stranded 2500 miles from home) thank you .
where's the bucket? lol. I hope it works long term.
its been a whole month now He still drives it everyday still! still works for now!
yes it is... but there has been a slight coolant consumption it seems but no over heating still driving it!
why did u not pour it in the radiator cap? is there a benefit from pouring it in the reseviour?
some cars don't have a radiator cap... just reservoir ....
Should have poured it straight into the radiator man. That's why it didn't work. This is a process you literally have to follow step by step. Did this on my 07 Jeep Liberty and it worked like a charm.
Some cars dont have a way to pour something into radiator....js
This car does not have a radiator cap. Pouring in this tank is perfectly acceptable as it's not a true overflow tank,,, see all those tubes going in and out of it? The coolant is circulating through this tank at all times,, water comes from the radiator, through the tank,, and straight into the heater core,,, it's absolutely no different putting it into here than putting it into the radiator. If it was a regular overflow tank,,, then yes, putting Blue Devil in would be pointless.
That stuff is awesome! Fixed my leak on my power steering
Realy? Blue devil on power steering system?
@@budhihart8161 yes they have a power steering fix
After u do this do u keep this or u need to take this product out and then fill it up with coolant again?
Great video! One question though, where did you buy the invisible bucket from? They got none on eBay!!
Yes they do. You just didn't see them...duh!
This stuff really works it fixed my 06 g35 I'm amazed.*
Lasted 2k miles
ReefRaaf how’s it running still good?
Did you simply replaced the water with that product ?
Is it still working?
@@zIAlphabet He just said it lasted 2000 miles.
Lol 2000 miles is awesome?😂
Could someone please assist , Blue devil leaked out as expect from overflow container and where ever it was leaking from it but it has Created a BIG mess I spent 8 years restoring a Toyota Supra ( was trying to seal leaking heater core) any suggestions? i tried soap and water .................
Question, if i have an external leak will the seal help that aswell?
Don't do it .. messed up my vw Passat when I used it for a hose leak.
4:40 very nice!!
High five!
Lol straight to a bucket
Rite super fib lol
Andy Hartzell Lol
😂😂
I was crakin up
also, dont forget to close that ho you know what im sayin
What if engine has water and oil on the dip stick do I drain the engine oil and put in new oil just enough to touch the stick
it makes me wonder if the newer pour and go Blue Devil Head Gasket Sealer that you leave in the system will it continue to work even after 10,000 miles? If it does then it would fix its self?
Okay I just tried Blue Devil yes it works .my truck stop smoking did it the first time with the small bottle. I recommend you buy the big ones it's more concentrated but don't know anything about a long-term yet. but it's doing the job as of now .I recommend you flush out very very good I didn't take off the thermostat it work just fine as long as you flush out real good .I recommend you let it sit overnight then but drain the water out after and fill it up with antifreeze after motor has cool down .it started up in the morning a little smoke will come out but very very little went away less than a minute but barely can see it .Blue Devil you got my vote.
U suppose to put in right in the radiator ( the old school stuff ), why did u put it in the overflow?
read some of the other comments please, it explains this type of car did not have radiator cap. just a overflow bottle. but yes typically you have to put it straight in the radiator.
I have to vehicles without radiator cap. You have to do it this way
Its a "Pressure Cap", the only reason some people call it a "Radiator Cap" is because on older cars the Pressure Cap was always on the radiator. Many cars, using the same cooling system, have the Pressure Cap somewhere else than the radiator on newer cars. The newer system, also has a Pressure Cap, it's just on the Expansion Tank. It looks different than old Pressure Caps, because it doesn't have the provisions to allow expanding coolant to be forced past it and directed to an overflow tank, and allow it to be sucked back into the system from the overflow tank. The newer system allows the coolant to expand and contract in the expansion tank, and the Pressure Cap goes on the expansion tank to maintain pressure in the system or to release pressure before hoses would burst.
My 2005 Camry has pressure caps on both, the radiator and the reservoir tank. All caps on the system have to be pressure caps as the system must maintain pressure to work properly. The radiator cap is still a radiator cap. It's a cap on the radiator. Yes, it is a pressure cap as well. It's a radiator cap that contains pressure.
Did blue devil a year and a half ago from watching this video 1999 mustang gt still going strong. And I’ve really pushed it since. Not even a scent of gas in the coolant anymore
Ok so do I flush the injen cuz it’s chocolatey put new oil . Then flush radiator put hose back, then add water and blue devil. Then do I keep new oil or put new oil back
My brother's 89 Chevy Silverado 2500 was blowing huge plumes of white smoke and barfing coolant out the radiator cap like a hot spring I used blue devil and followed the instructions to the tee and it fixed it running smoothly and no steam at all I couldn't believe it, we were stranded at Fred Meyer grocery and this stuff is no joke it works if your engine still runs there's a very good chance this will fix it I haven't seen one even close to as bad as my brother's truck on these internet vids and it worked beautifully. If you can do the head gasket do but this is the real deal if you decide to use it. Bypass your heater core first,I didn't and the heater still worked fine,but I would still bypass it just because and make sure to take the thermostat out before adding it. It's a miracle worker. Make sure it's the yellow label that the professional grade and it works.
So has anyone tried it on a 2010 rt charger? Mine just blew today and I'm panicking of course and looking up options. Will this work for me?
it should if you do it right
Can you still use Blue devil head gasket repair if your oil and your water has already mixed
Cadillac dealerships were using this in brand new North star motors. It does work if the leak in the seal is not a big leak. The chemicals in this product cause rubber seals to swell up. Personally I just replace the head gaskets.
Thanks just got my bottle and hope to save the cost of doing it the hard way.
just do it right, and it should work! good luck!
Carol Jackson doing it the hard way or more like to lazy to do it the right way?
CHARLIE ARROYO or more like the right way is expensive as hell so of course they would try this first
How is the bucket holding up?
bucket will live on
Damn Walmart bucket...
Do it really works for a Dodge Magnum
My car got fix with blue devil product what’s next should I drain it out and pour antifreeze or should I leave it? And how far can I drive my car? can I drive from LA to Vegas?
Just bought this product yesterday and confirmed with the employee at the store that the thermostat didn’t need to be removed. Although a different employee at the same store told me to do so lol I’m confused, there’s no directions on my bottle telling me to do so
there is 2 different brands of blue devil. one is 20.00 one is 45.00 the cheaper one is just u put in the radiator and thats it... the expensive one works better but u have to do all this work but worth it...
Josue Olmos you only have to take the thermostat out using the 32 oz bottle, the 16 oz bottle is a less concentrated formula which is why it says pour and go on the bottle. If you use the concentrated formula then yes removal the thermostat or it won’t continue to work and your car will be toast in no time.
If you have a very minor leak, not bad enough to overheat, but can tell you have a headgasket leak; then you'd use the 16oz bottle, just pour it into a warmed up cooling system where the thermostat would be open. If you have a major leak, that causes you to completely overheat, then you'd want to use the 32oz bottle, and that ones recommends you remove the thermostat so you can get all that sealant to circulate as much as possible and not get into the thermostat.
Derek Perez Thank you Derek and All the Others appreciate it. My cooling systems (radiator water pump and thermostat) is all fairly new. My car wasn’t overheating but my spark plugs were wet when I checked and I had them replaced. My guess is water is getting into the motor due to the head gasket. I was going to pour the solution in to fix the leak but my car won’t even start now lol. Cranks but just turn over and start. The sound of my car just giving effort to start and having no luck sucks. Probably due to the low compression in the motor due to the gasket. Not sure I’m no mechanic.
Derek Perez think it’s safe to say head gasket needs to be replaced.
Am about to try Blue Devil in a 98 BMW 528i.... Iet you know in a couple of days.
How’d it go?
@@Justin_SVT sorry. Tried it before fixing overheating blew off hose 20 minutes in. Mech tried nursing it through to end but nope. Am gonna try again when paycheck is in. Better with a bit of backup for those pesky unforeseen things. Let ya know, Too Poor Garage. Thanks for the interest. A few days s more, hopefully.
DonaldJerome Ostrander Seems like I’ll be using the K&W Fiberlock later tonight on a 2001 530i. Let me know how blue devil works for you.
So I just used that very same bottle and while doing this process. It was already heating up so much that I turned the engine . It might be water pump . Also reason why it originally overheated was that radiator was empty due to hose leak . What u think what should I do hope i get feedback
not sure man sorry.
Im very skeptical of this but from all the positive reviews i think imma give it a try. Ik and completely understand that it's a temporary fix. I do plan on replacing my head gasket in the near future. Just hoping its a good enough bandaid till then and that it doesn't cause harm to my engine...
It’s actually supposed to be a permanent fix. A temporary fix would be like fix a flat for a car tire. This is supposed to last.
@@Yyyyyy5 I'd have to disagree, it's been a year since I used the gasket sealer. The engine died about 20k miles after I used it, which realistically speaking is really impressive, to say the least. It gave me enough time to save up money and replace the engine altogether. Happy I went this route, instead of parking the car, and now ik what to expect if it happens again.
You mentioned taking the thermostat out first (am I correct?) also, is it good to let all of the water drain out before you put the blue devil sealer in?
Someone please answer this great question I wanna know too lol
@@ducedaddybeatz4278 you not have to take off the thermostat just drain the coolant flush it all out with some water till all that’s coming out is water , then put the hose back on or tighten the drain whatever you did and fill it with water till it just barely stays in the res and add the blue devil stuff (just so you know it won’t last forever it’s just a quick fix for about 5k miles and need a to be flushed out after ) also it’s not good for just about everything the coolant runs through
@@George_gorge you want to remove the thermostat to remove any restrictive flow, and as small is the ports on a thermostat are it could become clogged from the additive. *BUT* it will take longer to warm up the motor
Where do you pour the sealant, in the radiator or the coolant reservoir? Also do you pour the sealant in whilst the vehicle is on?
Pour directly into the radiator.
@@jonathanblaine6512 This car does not have a radiator cap. Pouring in this tank is perfectly acceptable as it's not a true overflow tank,,, see all those tubes going in and out of it? The coolant is circulating through this tank at all times,, water comes from the radiator, through the tank,, and straight into the heater core,,, it's absolutely no different putting it into here than putting it into the radiator. If it was a regular overflow tank,,, then yes, putting Blue Devil in would be pointless.
Thanks for video .I may need to buy some and use it on my sons car..great video.
Over a year later is it still running good
