Unfortunately, we don't manufacture a product meant to stop oil from getting into the radiator. I have a 1994 Mazda 626 ; no white smoke;no water in oil; but oil is in radiator; oil degree continuously goes down. White smoke would be an indication that water/antifreeze is burning, the place as blue smoke would indicate oil burning. Yes, the BlueDevil Head Gasket Sealer will nonetheless work when your car is getting combustion/exhaust gases blowing into the cooling system and creating strain.

I would change your oil before AND after the application. We would not advocate using the product in your Ford Diesel. In conditions with a gasoline engine we might recommend pulling the spark plug from the effected cylinder to alleviate a few of the strain blowing into the cooling system. However, as a result of diesel engines use glow plugs you may be unable to use that method.

After these repairs the car overheated within about half-hour of driving and overheated within 20min after topping off coolant. I removed spark plugs and discovered green coolant on the plugs and coolant on the oil dipstick. I lately drove about four hours non-stop on a hot Florida summer season day, on the return trip the automotive overheated and stalled hot. I may have been too hasty in topping off with water and regretfully added it to the engine while it was nonetheless scorching (I was working late and wasn’t pondering). Yes, our product will work for the situation you described.

One of the disadvantages of RTV silicone is that it can be costlier and is vulnerable to attracting dust and residue. Because air moisture cures RTV, it must be applied to a floor rapidly, which may be tough.

The silicone may be very thick and porous, so it must be degassed with a vacuum, in order to remove any air bubbles which could have an effect on its application. The thermostat senses the heat of the engine, and then uses that heat to open and shut a valve. If the engine overheats for any purpose, this will trigger the thermostat to fail.

The components contained in the thermostat are solely designed to deal with normal operating temperatures, and extreme overheating could injury mentioned components. I drained miy coolant down previous the thermo housing to my best guess. The head of a plastic drainplug to the radiator which takes a large flat blade broke virtually as quickly as screw driver touched it. It reminded me of some VW plastic parts that crumble in the fingers.
