K&W Permanent Metallic ®
Block Seal
• Block and Radiator Seal
• Permanently seals small
holes and cracks, repairing:
Engine blocks
Cylinder heads
Radiators
Heater cores
Cooling passages
Head gaskets
Water Jackets
K&W Permanent Metallic ®
Block Seal
Block Seal seeks out cracks or small holes in the engine block, radiator,
head gasket, freeze plugs and heater core.
K&W Permanent Metallic ®
Block Seal
Once the crack or
hole is located, Block
Seal, mixed with
water, is forced in
from the pressure of
the cooling system.
Block Seal is
hardened as oxygen
passes over the
crack forming a
permanent molecular
bond that’s as strong
as steel.

Preparation
Park vehicle in a spot
where it can sit for at
least 24 hours.
Products needed: Block
Seal, Radiator Flush and
Radiator Anti-Rust.
Other products & tools
required: Antifreeze,
drain pan and basic
hand tools.
Block Seal Step 1
Drain antifreeze
into drain pan
Block Seal cannot be
added to coolant because
it will solidify.
Tip:
If you plan on reusing
current antifreeze, drain
into a clean pan.
It is suggested that you
use new antifreeze.
Block Seal Step 2
Flush cooling system
Why? To remove scale, rust and
corrosion. This will aid the
sealing process and clean the
cooling system.
Tip: Using a “back-flush” kit is
the most effective method of
flushing.
Block Seal Step 2 (repeat)
Flush, Flush, Flush!
• This may be the most important step.
Flush the cooling system until the water
is clear and there is no antifreeze
present.
• Turn on the heater and defroster while
vehicle is running. This will ensure that
the thermostat is open resulting in faster
warm-up time. If possible, remove the
thermostat and replace after leak has
been repaired.
• Tip: If you are experiencing an internal
coolant leak (compression leak), remove
and check spark plugs for corrosion or
fluid appearance. You may also run a
compression test. Upon determining the
affected cylinder(s) remove the spark
plug and disable the fuel injection before
the next step.
Block Seal Step 3
Mix Block Seal
with water
• In a separate container, mix
entire can of Block Seal with
3 quarts of clean warm tap
water. Shake/mix the solution
before adding to the empty
cooling system. (Can may be
pressurized, hold away from
face when opening)
• Use a clean plastic milk jug or
other container to mix Block
Seal and water.
Block Seal Step 4
Add Block Seal mixture
• Pour entire Block Seal mixture into
cooling system.
• Immediately start the vehicle, top-off
with water, replace the radiator cap
and let the vehicle idle for a minimum
of 20 to 30 minutes. If vehicle
overheats, turn off vehicle and let
temperature return to normal before
restarting for remaining time frame.
• Tip: If the thermostat has not been
removed, turning on the heat and
defrost will ensure the thermostat
opens
Block Seal Step 5
Let vehicle cool
• After vehicle is cool,
remove radiator cap and
drain cooling system
Tip: There is not a specific
time frame for cooling.
You may drain cooling
system when you feel
comfortable removing the
fluid.
Block Seal Step 6
Drain and Cure
• Remove radiator cap and
open all drain cocks to allow
air to circulate in the cooling
system. Removing the lower
radiator hose will help in
allowing more air into the
coolant system
• Let empty cooling system dry
for a minimum of 24 hours.
Tip: Block Seal needs air to cure
and form a permanent bond,
the longer it can dry the
better the adhesion.
Block Seal Step 7
Flush and Add coolant
• After drying time has elapsed,
flush coolant system until clear
and fill with a 50/50 mix of
antifreeze & water (You may add
anti-rust or other additives if
desired).
• Let vehicle idle until hot.
• The leak has been repaired.
• Reinstall thermostat if it was
removed during the process.
• Change oil and filter if oil is
contaminated. A engine oil flush
is recommended if the oil is
extremely dirty.
• Check coolant level frequently
over the next 100 miles.

Block Seal Competitors
Most brands use “wood flour dust” to form a soft, temporary seal.
While the coolant - filled with wood pulp - is under pressure, the pulp
seals the crack. But what happens when you change your coolant?
K&W Block Seal does not rely on cooling system pressure to maintain
a seal. It actually repairs cracks and small holes in your system.
