Sun, 21 March 2004 20:56 beerfart wrote on Sun, 21 March 2004 21:53 has anybody else had problems with annoying leaks with toyota red? i have had nothing but trouble with my 7mge since the head was recon. around 5 different leaks, mostly down side of block from head gasket.does not leak into cylinders. several mechanics i have spoken to blame the coolant saying it will not allow the system to seal properly.head has been torqued down three times now.latest recommendation is to use green coolant (good quality) and some gear called WELDIT.did this last night FINGERS CROSSED!!!also when my head was removed (90 cressida) all the aluminium castings looked like new absolutely zero corrosion.i would like to keep using toyota red but it just seems too much like penetrene errr that's an assembly issue (your mechanic), not a coolant issue. I'd be asking questions if I was you as that's not normal to have coolant leaking from the outside of the gasket - maybe if it was copper and not sealed around the waterjackets properly, but on a stock headgasket? As for using products like Weldit - isn't that a poor mans headgasket fix? [Report message to a moderator]
