Default Re: Block Coolant Leak Repair???

<div class="ubbcode-block"><div class="ubbcode-header">Originally Posted By: Mr.Nickey Nova</div><div class="ubbcode-body">GM sells a product called (Cooling System Seal Tabs) part# 12378254. Used it in my 05 pickup when i had a little coolant leak, couldn't tell where it was coming from,possible head gasket. Worked like a charm and that was five years ago.It's made out of some kind of vegetable formula that seals minor leaks. You can get it at your local Chevrolet dealer, give it a try...</div></div>

I had an 83' Hurst Olds with the 307 HP engine -- developed a coolant leak at the right front corner of engine between the intake and head ... used the seal tabs and they cured the problem. TAZ

Did you tap the threads out at all? Pipe thread is tapered.

I am thinking I will get some of the tablets and that will get through me through the summer. The car won't be driven much, but then next winter when I can take my time, I will carefully pull the head and have a machine shop weld and retap the hole. Thanks
