how can a BHG cause overheating?

[mtp_69_i]

yeah? Someone else recommended it to me. You reckon it's alright? How long did it last? Did it mess up anything else (fuel economy, water pump, thermostat etc)???

I'm tempted. How bad was your excel?

used to use water, wouldn't run on all cyl when you first started it, bunged in the chemi-weld, followed the directions... and flogged it for another 6 months, and was fine.. didn't have any other issues.. it took (say) 3 or so heat cycles to take effect (when i started it the first day after i was a bit annoyed it hadn't worked all that well) but over the next 3 days it got better and was fixed.

cool, I just put up a thread asking for other experiences with it but I'm thinking I'll give it a go. Hell, it's only for a 3sfe anyway!

[SL666]

that was pretty much my thoughts.. its not expensive or hard, and if it fixes and issue, all good.. not saying i'd use it on my mega-dollar crate engine or something, but if my 1j started doing it, i'd have no probs chucking it in

Or in my case it'll just burn coolant and not overheat either

+ 1.

mine eats more coolant than fuel.

that said, it pulls like a phucking freight train when running properly.

on ya, I'll hit repc0 up on the wkend, and let y'all know how it goes.

dont use chemiweld

sealup is way way better...doesnt clog your waterpump, radiator and any other associated parts of your cooling system...unlike chemiweld

[mtp_69_i]

noted. Thanks for all the input guys

Lol i remmeber that when i put the next bottle of chemiweld into the race engines

youre joking right...becuase sometimes I cant tell mick...

[kingmick]

no not joking!

[MR 1JZ]

why would you put it in?

do you strip it down soon after?

[kingmick]

as we run high pressure water systems and the systems run header tanks,swirl pots and bleeds, there is very little are air in the system.
It use used as an added safety becuase it cost a lot of money to race and the engines are very exxy.
the engines last 1000km of racing before freshen up and when you strip them they are perfect.Some builders use it some dont,like anything.
it just attaches were needed if used properly.
We dont run radiator fans of any sort.

mr 1j: how does sealup work differently?

mr 1j: how does sealup work differently?

to be honest im not exactly sure, but I know when I put some in my soarer I didnt have any issues at all with clogging of the radiator and cooling system. Also it looks a lot finer when comparing the two substances. Sealup has small copper particles that somehow trap only where there is a leak of some kind.

its about the same price...just after using chemiweld in my car when it was 1GGTE there was no way i was doing it again
