hello everyone,
My son has a 2001 Malibu, 180,000 mi runs good but has internal coolant
leak. He doesn't have $600 right now to fix it but local mechanic told him to try
Blue Devil head gasket repair for a temporary fix.
I love to here from anyone has used this product or knows anything about it.
thanks for any info

No. This will only cause more problems down the road. Should it find its way into the oiling system, only the devil would know what would happen.
Fix it right the first time.
On another note, I've been on this forum for quite some time and have only seen one or two instances of head gasket failure. 99% of the time, its your intake manifold gaskets that take a dump and coolant gets sucked into the cylinders, or the coolant goes into the crankcase.
How did the mechanic come to the diagnoses of it being the head gasket?

Thanks for the input Mike. Somehow I already knew what you would say.
I think my son told him he had an internal leak, not sure exactly sure where and I think the mechanic just meant that the
"Devil" would fix it where ever it was.
Thanks again

At least if all he did was the intake gaskets, then he'* halfway done.
