Head gasket

Post by bmw528ilove12 »

I think I have a bad head gasket. There is oil showing up in my coolant and I've been told that's what it is. Does anyone know if the K SEAL stuff is any good? Or can recommend a good shop in LA for this?

Thanks.

No suggestions on a shop, but I wouldn't expect any success with any brand of stop leak with a blown HG. Do however be prepared for the worst, don't be surprised if the head is cracked. I see a $2K bill on the horizon :shock: . Sorry. :cry:
