Blue Devil head gasket sealer

Postby jimbob2154 » Thu Aug 01, 2019 6:03 am

I'm pretty sure I have a blown head gasket on my 2006 Pathfinder w/4.0 V6. Is Blue Devil, or one of the other, head gasket sealer an acceptable temporary fix for a blown head gasket? I just can't afford $2000 right now to have it replaced. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Acceptable is a matter of opinion depending on one's standards. Personally, I wouldn't use the sealer. Unfortunately, the only right thing to do is replace the head gasket. Yes, I know it's expensive and a very labor intensive job, but it is the only correct way to fix the problem.
