Well, I am back.I have still been having intermittent overheating problems and discovered there is oil in the coolant.

Am I correct in assuming I have a blown head gasket? If so, do any of these type products really work? http://www.steelseal.comhttp://www.heal-a-seal.com

Thanks,Mike

No. You need to R&R the heads if not irreversibly warped.

Usually once a head gasket is blown there is no way to fix it unless replacing it.

Those products may claim what they want but they are there to steal you money.

You can test the cooling system by going to Autozone or a auto store that lends out tools, AN ask for a Coolant Pressure Tester, then look in the service manual: http://nicoclub.com/FSM and see how to test the coolant system.

Or take to a professional to have it done.
