Review on Moroso 35500 Engine Seal, Ceramic Formula - 1 Pint by Derrick Shah

Revainrating 5 out of 5

It worked for my 1979 MG Midget!

I had, yes I had a problem with my 79 Midget where steam came out of the exhaust when the engine was hot and idling. When I told a firefighter mechanic my sad story about pulling off a small animal's head, he suggested I try Moroso Ceramic Seal. What was there to lose but $20? Two of his tips were to flush the live crap out of the system and bypass the heater core as it could clog it. Luckily I had a garden hose adapter in my cooling system and drove into town to flush it out. I'm also fortunate that this was only recently done so the system was nice and clean from the start. I replaced the coolant with water, warmed up the engine and carefully added the ceramic gasket. Plumes of steam filled my open garage while I waited for the car to warm up before applying the ceramic gasket. After adding it, I walked as instructed and drove the car up and down the street. When I stopped at the traffic light after 10 or 15 minutes I noticed that there was no steam coming out of the back of the car! I drove about 3 hours by car shopping, sightseeing and the like. Not a bunch! The temperature was just above zero. I got home, drained the coolant and left it for a day to 'set' according to the instructions. I still have to change the coolant and start driving again, but for now. Things worked like a dream. I will post updates. I guess it can "let go" and I'm back where I started.

Pros
  • Well built
Cons
  • No insurance
