So Ray, there's at least 3 different flavors of this magic goo with big price diffs. Which one did you use?

 

My latest attempt, I call it:  " I'm not goin to the store" Taco

I'd eat that.

 

I got the 'spensive one, just like in the subject line. But Advance Auto had a $10 coupon and there was a $10 rebate.

 

Saw it for cheap online somewhere after too.

My fairly fresh M10 consumed a HG about a year ago, which I replaced. And all was well for a few months. Then the past initial symptoms of notable coolant loss and missing on cold starts (and then warm starts) reappeared.

 

The observations from pulling the head were that the gasket was broached between 3 and 4. Now that the symptoms had reappeared I'm assuming that things are not completely flat around there. 

 

Yes, the head was torqued properly by the builder, and probably by me as well.

 

After adding the magic goo and running the motor per instructions, the past 5 days of multiple drives and starts has shown no misfires at all and no coolant loss. (There has never been any coolant intrusion to the crankcase.)

 

Best 30 dollars I ever spent this week!
