Bill, I am not familiar with that product so I can't tell you whether to use
it or not. One product that I have used and many racing engine builders use
is Moroso Ceramic Engine Sealer. This product does work, but I never used it
on anything with a heater (race vehicles only). If you use any of these
sealers, I would recommend looping one of the heater hoses to eliminate the
heater core from the cooling system temporarily. The Moroso stuff does not
have any solids in it, but it does have a ceramic compound that hardens when
you drain the water and leave the engine sit for 24 hours. I would do this
as a last resort, but IMO, if the gasket is leaking, the engine builder is
liable for it, not you. He gave you a warranty and an engine that leaks
coolant. Now I don't know if this is relative to the head bolt fiasco or
not, but you should demand that he fixes the problem. You paid for a
properly assembled engine, and if an engine is leaking coolant through a
gasket surface, it obviously either was not assembled properly, or one of
the mating surfaces on the head or the block is not within specs. Again, you
should not have to endure any crap for an engine that is warrantied.
