    Blown head gasket silly putty?

    So I've had a blown head gasket since I got the car a few years ago. I have zero intention of fixing it, as I will be swapping motors relatively soon and I never drive it.

    The gasket has blown out on the exhaust side, spitting out little bits of coolant onto the exhaust which gives me the o-so-cool spyhunter smoke screen as I drive down the road. I can see exactly where this is happening. Short of sticking a glob of JB weld there (which would take away any possibility of parting engine components later), is there something I can stick in that hole in the gasket to prevent coolant smoke?

    The car makes it possible, but the driver makes it happen.

      Josh, are we talking deep hackery so you can drive to portland this saturday?

      Scrub with scotchbrite and carb cleaner, use heat gun to dry, smear a 3/4" hick layer of the silver RTV goo on it and don't start it until tomorrow afternoon.

      Just be prepared to call AAA after the meet, but DO IT so we can see your shaggy ass up there! Bring you pool cue too, I am gonna head to 1 of 2 places to shoot a little.

      Closing SOON!
