The engine is started and brought up to operating temperature. During the warm-up phase, Steel Seal is initially distributed evenly in the cooling system and enters the engine's cooling water circuit after the thermostat is opened and shortly before the operating temperature is reached. Once full operating temperature has been reached, Steel Seal starts to <strong>existing hairline cracks, leaks and leaks<\/strong> on the cylinder head gasket, cylinder head or engine block <strong>to seal<\/strong>.

It does not contain any particles or fibers like other sealants on the market, which could damage or clog the engine cooling connections, the radiator or the heat exchanger in the worst case. As Steel Seal alone <strong>reacts to heat<\/strong> and the chemical bonding process (i.e. the \"curing\") only takes place at temperatures of 110\u00b0C and above, Steel Seal can, when properly applied <strong>accurate<\/strong> seal where there are cracks or leaks in the engine. This is because the high temperatures that cause Steel Seal to harden are only reached there. The higher the prevailing temperatures at these points, the faster Steel Seal hardens.<\/p><p>If the cooling system is contaminated or other additives have been used in the vehicle, we recommend rinsing the cooling system with clear water before applying Steel Seal. This prevents unwanted reactions. Never leave the vehicle unattended during application and always keep an eye on the engine temperature. <strong>Turn off the engine immediately<\/strong>if at any time during the application it should <strong>threaten to overheat<\/strong>.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-5ab88d8 elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"5ab88d8\" data-element_type=\"section\" data-e-type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-50 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-4f47094\" data-id=\"4f47094\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-e-type=\"column\" data-settings=\"{&quot;background_background&quot;:&quot;classic&quot;}\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-a9d1309 elementor-widget elementor-widget-menu-anchor\" data-id=\"a9d1309\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"menu-anchor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-menu-anchor\" id=\"faq3\"><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-3b4e0e5 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"3b4e0e5\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h4 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">How do you use Steel Seal?<\/h4>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-ddbfaf5 elementor-widget-divider--view-line elementor-widget elementor-widget-divider\" data-id=\"ddbfaf5\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"divider.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-divider\">\n\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-divider-separator\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/span>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-18fb25f elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"18fb25f\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>Note the following points for optimum results when using Steel Seal:<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-00d62b8 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"00d62b8\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<ol><li>The <strong>Correct dosage<\/strong> should always be observed in accordance with the manufacturer's instructions:<ul><li>Up to 2.4 liters capacity = 1 bottle<\/li><li>2.4 to 4.0 liter displacement = 2 bottles<\/li><li>Over 4.0 liters displacement = bottles<\/li><\/ul><\/li><li>Steel Seal <strong>Only in conjunction with clean coolant<\/strong> (commercially available coolant in a ratio of 3:1 water to antifreeze or even more aqueous).\u00a0<\/li><li>During use, always pay attention to the <b>Engine temperature display<\/b> pay attention.

The thermostat and the water pump often play a major role and the failure of these components and, as a result, a brief overheating of the engine are among the most common causes of damage to the cylinder-head gasket. The thermostat and the water pump are typical wearing parts of the cooling system. If they no longer function properly, this negatively affects the function of the cooling system. This can mean that the heat produced by a combustion engine can no longer be dissipated efficiently. The engine overheats and just a few seconds are enough to cause damage to the head gasket or the water pump. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.mein-autolexikon.de\/motor\/zylinderkopf.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Cylinder head<\/a> cause. The \"cylinder-head gasket burns out\". Of course, signs of material fatigue can also occur with time and the corresponding mileage. The constant warming up and cooling down of the engine in combination with the high compression pressures from the combustion chambers can cause fine hairline cracks on the cylinder head or engine block. These increase in size over time until the first symptoms, usually in the form of coolant loss, become apparent.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section

If the cooling water loss occurs via a leaking cylinder head gasket or a crack in the cylinder head, there are usually no external signs, such as a noticeable water leak or a puddle under the vehicle. The loss of cooling water is slow at first. Difficulties with cold starts and white smoke from the exhaust are often indications that cooling water is entering the combustion chamber. Steel Seal was developed precisely for this problem. It closes leaks in the engine cooling circuit and restores the function of the cylinder head gasket or cylinder head.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-bde8f38 elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"bde8f38\" data-element_type=\"section\" data-e-type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-50 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-8ada3ce\" data-id=\"8ada3ce\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-e-type=\"column\" data-settings=\"{&quot;background_background&quot;:&quot;classic&quot;}\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-63ac860 elementor-widget elementor-widget-menu-anchor\" data-id=\"63ac860\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"menu-anchor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-menu-anchor\" id=\"faq13\"><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-d6cb03c elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"d6cb03c\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h4 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">Do I need to flush my cooling system before using Steel Seal?<\/h4>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-632c7a7 elementor-widget-divider--view-line elementor-widget elementor-widget-divider\" data-id=\"632c7a7\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"divider.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-divider\">\n\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-divider-separator\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/span>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-588e05d elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"588e05d\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>We recommend flushing the cooling system with clear water (without flushing agent!) and refilling with fresh coolant before using Steel Seal, especially if the coolant is very old or contaminated or other additives have been used.

Steel Seal should then be applied with clean, clear water. In this way, clumping can be avoided from the outset.<\/span><\/p><p>\u00a0<\/p><p style=\"background: white;\"><strong><span style=\"font-family: 'Arial',sans-serif; color: #222222;\">What can I do if it has happened?<\/span><\/strong><\/p><p style=\"background: white;\"><span style=\"font-family: 'Arial',sans-serif; color: #222222;\">If all parts are still installed, rinse the cooling system and, if necessary, the heating radiator separately several times with clear water. This solves the problem in the vast majority of cases.<\/span><\/p><p style=\"background: white;\"><span style=\"font-family: 'Arial',sans-serif; color: #222222;\">If a more stubborn blockage has occurred and stronger clumps have formed due to a reaction with other foreign bodies in the cooling system, please proceed as follows:<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"color: #222222; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16px;\">Use caustic soda or a high quality drain cleaner such as \"Draino Max Gel\" or \"Rorax\" which contains sodium hydroxide. These can be added directly to the cooling system in the same way as Steel Seal. The sodium hydroxide is commercially available as a powder. Adding 3 tablespoons of it directly into the cooling system and running the engine for 10 minutes is enough to dissolve the clumps and solve the problem.

However, the failure is not a direct result of Steel Seal, but a result of the restored water pressure in the cooling system. If the cooling system has been leaking for a long period of time, the pressure in the cooling system decreases and causes the sealing rings of the water pump to slacken. After the \"normal\" water pressure in the cooling system is restored as a result of a successful repair of the cylinder-head gasket by Steel Seal\u00ae, the water pump can fail because the rubber sealing rings no longer swell due to the loss of elasticity and no longer provide the necessary seal.
