Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)I have a 1995 Ford Windstar 3.8 liter 6 cyl with 183,200 miles. Everyone knows this is one of Ford's weakest engines and has had numerous documented problems with blown head gaskets in the past. In fact Ford extended the original warranty on the engine to cover this particular problem. During this last hard winter of 2008-09, the heater suddenly began blowing cold air and the vehicle began overheating a great deal. My local mechanic and I flushed the coolant, replaced the thermostat and checked the cooling fans for correct operation and we found no problems, but the symptoms kept occuring. We decided it was another blown head gasket (repaired at under 100,000 by Ford) and rather than pay the $900 to repair it again, we decided my car would be the "guinea pig" for K-Seal, which he had never tried before. We followed the directions on the bottle by removing some anti-freeze from the system, shaking and pouring the K-seal into the radiator and refilling the anti-freeze to the proper level. My Mechanic recommended that I take at least a 20-30 mile trip to make sure that the engine reached a high enough temperature to make the sealant work. I drove out of our small town just as the temp gauge was beginning to rise and within 1 mile, the temperature gauge dropped and didn't move more than 1/8 inch during the rest of the 44 mile round trip. The heater blew the warmest air it had all winter and the vehicle performed as would normally be expected. I have since put on an additional 200 miles (total 244) without any overheating or cold air blowing problems although the temp gauge did raise slightly one day when I left the van idling for about 10 minutes, but no higher than 1/2 the gauge and well within acceptable limits (probably the temp did not get high enough for the cooling fans to engage). I am very pleased with the initial results for a $19.95 bottle of sealant and I will report back at 500 and/or 1000 miles.
