engine block repairs
To a car or truck owner, a cracked
engine block is a frightening thing.
There are only two ways to repair a
crack or hole in an engine block or head
-- one way is to tear the engine apart and
hot weld the crack. This is very
expensive and requires considerable
vehicle down time. The other way is to
use CarGo SEAL-UP which is
inexpensive and keeps vehicle down
time to less than one day.
of the crack which can damage the
metal in the head or block. These hot
spots are represented by the shaded area
in Figure 1.
Cracks within an engine block or head
usually occur somewhere within the
water jacket. Since the cooling system is
pressurized, water is forced through the
crack into an unwanted area of the
engine -- usually the oil and / or a
cylinder. Even a crack of only a
thousandth of an inch in width can spew
a large amount of water. If it goes into a
cylinder, it lowers the ignition
temperature and greatly affects the
operation of the engine. If it goes into
the oil, it will damage the bearings,
lifters, and other sensitive internal areas
of the engine. If the crack exits
externally, there is great water loss and
the engine over heats.

Figure 1 is an illustration of a crack in
the engine block between the water
jacket and a cylinder. The crack creates
a low pressure area and as the water
flows past the crack under pressure, the
water is forced through the crack into
the cylinder. The addition of water into
the cylinder dampens the firing within
the cylinder. Plus, cracks in the cylinder
almost always result in water flowing
into the oil.
Another problem is hot spots. Since
heat cannot travel across the open
crack, you have a hot spot on both sides

ceramic-metallic cold welded. The copper
transfers heat from side-to-side of the
crack eliminating the hot spots.
This ceramic-metallic cold weld is as
permanent as a hot metal weld and will
last the life of the engine. The weld will
withstand 3000 pounds of pressure per
square inch and over 1000°F (538°C).
SEAL-UP is a fast, easy to use,
permanent repair of a crack or hole in
an engine block or head. It can also be
used to permanently cold weld a crack
or hole in a radiator, water pump, freeze
plugs, or head gasket.
SEAL-UP is a formulation of modified
liquid glass fortified with pure copper to
permanently cold weld holes and cracks
within the block and head of water
cooled engines -- both diesel and
gasoline.
The copper reinforced liquid glass
molecules (illustrated as dots in Figure
2) are forced into the crack along with
the water. When the SEAL-UP
molecules come into contact with air
from the cylinder, they instantly solidify
into a ceramic- metallic cold weld. This
hardening is accelerated with the heat.
This ceramic-metallic cold weld is a
permanent weld and will last the life of
the engine.
There are two reasons for copper in the
formula. First, it strengthens the ceramic
weld. Secondly, since copper is an
excellent heat conductor, it transfers heat
across the crack eliminating the hot spots.

The larger the crack or hole, the longer
it takes SEAL-UP to permanent ceramicmetallic cold weld the leak. SEAL-UP
should stop leaks up to a 30 thousandths
inch hole or up to a 15 thousandths inch
wide crack in two to five minutes.
