My 223 6 sprung a head gasket leak at the back of the head. I used a
product called Irontite which is allegedly the best of the bunch. It was
recommended by a retired dealership mechanic friend. He used it on a older
Nissan with a blown head gasket. Two years later the car is still holding
up.
Closely following the directions it stopped the leak . . It would be very
nice to get a year or so out of it. I flushed the system . . allowed the
engine to cool overnight before applying. That 223 head (solid lifters) is
a beast to remove.
Has anyone heard of Irontite as one of the better formulas for this type of
"buy some time" repair?
