A cracked engine block can be a very expensive and time consuming repair. However, smaller cracks can be repaired with products like Fiber Lock without removing any parts from the vehicle.

Stop leaks, start driving. This car's engine is overheated. Repeatedly. Overheating can sometimes be caused by the cracked engine block, leaks from the cooling system, or coolant leaking past the head gaskets. A crack in the engine block could be an expensive repair, but with K&W Fiber Lock head gasket and block repair, you can be back on the road in 20 minutes.

K&W Fiber Lock is the most advanced product for repairing crack head gaskets and engine blocks. When there is a crack or hole in your block or cooling system, the pressure in the system causes heat to build up around the crack. Fiber Lock seeks out the hot spots and seals them permanently with three levels of protection. Military strength fibers create an interlocking web over the breech. Nanoparticles fill in and create a solid bond to the metal. Coolex conditioner keeps your engine running cooler long after the repair is made and Fiber Lock is compatible with all types of antifreeze.

Now let me show you how you can do this yourself in just a few minutes and no tools are needed. Before starting read all the directions and have your owner's manual ready to look up system details. You will also need to know the capacity of your cooling system. This can be found in your owner's manual. Let's get started. First make sure the engine is cool enough to safely remove the radiator cap. Next, always wear eye protection and gloves when doing any type of maintenance or repair on your vehicle. Now locate and unscrew the radiator cap. Be careful not to add Fiber Lock to the oil. Shake the bottle well for 30 seconds and start your car. This is necessary to circulate Fiber Lock in your cooling system. Very slowly add the required amount of Fiber Lock. Replace the radiator cap. Turn the heater on to high. Let your car idle for 15 minutes and you're done.

After the engine cools down it's always a good idea to check the fluid level of the radiator and add some coolant if it's low. If the leak persist for more than a week, you can repeat the treatment with Fiber Lock. But if you're losing more than a half gallon of coolant in 30 minutes, no cooling system additive will be able to fix your leak and you'll need a professional repair.
