This block sealer works: Irontite

[Baron Von Mike]

I have a 60 year old Flathead, and recently it developed a case of water in the oil. Yech.

I'm going to replace the old engine soon, but wanted it to run as long as possible until that time, so after posting to the HAMB and looking on the net I decided on Irontite:

http://www.irontite.com/

I followed the directions, actually ran the stuff for 5 days instead of 2 or 3, and there is no more water in my oil.

Now, I don't know if it was a bad gasket or an actual crack, but I don't care since this motor is being replaced, and will probably be rebuilt in the future. The point is, this stuff actually worked.

What is an Eagle vision?

Hey George,

I forgot to post where I got it, sorry. Kragen, Shucks, etc. won't have it. They carry K&W, which also seems to work well based on net searches I did, but Irontite just seemed better based on a couple hours of poking around.

I got mine from Lee's in Alameda, CA. I would recommend Irontite's radiator flush too. You have to remove almost all traces of coolant before using the block sealer.

Most use cases I saw were people who just wanted to stop the leaking until they got a proper fix, like me.

Hard On,
You might remember that ugly AMC Eagle? Well, I think Chrysler bought out AMC for the Jeep and ended up with the Eagle name, so they made another brand out of it, Eagle Talon was probably the most popular car that came out of it.
Well, the Eagle Vision was the Eagle equivalent of a Dodge Intrepid.

Mike,,Happened to run across this thread,,I know it's old,but thought I could add to it. Yes,Irontite Sealers work GREAT. Irontite,is a co-company of Kwik-Way and Van Norman,which is a company that has built Engine Rebuilding and Valve Re-facer / Cylinder head Machines since 1920,here in Marion Iowa. Irontite is more about high end tooling and cold crack repair taps,reamers,etc for the Diesel Engine rebuilding companies than a chemical manufacture. The Flush,All Weather Seal,Ceramic Seal products evolved to compliment this industry. It just so happens to work great on gas engines too. We have bottled Irontite Sealers for Moroso Race Products since 1982,,,29 years! Moroso is a very reputable company,,if the product didn't work,well we wouldn't be there. Also,all Carquest company owned stores handle the sealers now as it has become very popular.If you should ever have problems locating it,contact me and I will get you helped. Yes,I have used the product long before I worked for them when I dyno'ed my drag car engines during warm up to take care of any leaks due to casting issues. Thanks!
