K-Seal rather than Radweld, guy at the garage I had a brief stint in said it was far superior. | |

Through some radweld in it and it may cure it, i've heard it can fix HG water leaks, TBH I think my car is leaking coolant and i'm getting paranoid with steam coming out the exhaust, but it is cold. I'm hoping it is the cap as I saw a small amount of steam arond there, but could have been water on the hot rad (expansion tank is connected to rad) | |

a compression test could be fine but it could still be the HG if it shows as OK though, it's not a definitive test. Would help though. | |

Id comp test it to be sure. Do the gasket with a decent quality gasket, skim the head and make sure the bolts get done up correctly. | |

Well its drinking coolant like an alcoholic,excessive white smoke out the rear, no signs of leaks for that amount of coolant, slight misfire, lumpy under acceleration. | |
