Dave if you have a 3.1L or 3.4L. This is a very very common issue. It's most likely not the head gasket /gaskets. The sealer is not NOT going to solve the leak. And eventually the engine will seize up. Keep the oil checked. For water and over filled. OK, this is what's wrong. The lower intake gaskets are made from plastic and rubber. And they crack around the water jackets. It's a real mess. It's a 5/7hour fix. But must be done. Unless you want to put another engine in it. Make sure you spend the extra $$,and buy the metal replacement gasket set. About $70/$100. Trust me Mr Blue will fail .and hopefully not at a very inopportune time. Just trying to help and give a bit of great advice.
Used Blue Devil on the Ex's Impala (3.4) 7 years ago at 68,000 miles and converted it from dexcool to regular. Still going strong at 170,000 miles. Did the heads on mine at 107,000 with metal gaskets and now it's blown at 192,000. Always the rear head and either number five or number 1 cylinder, or both. There is a school of thought that it's the dexcool, not the gaskets. I think it's both, and also the engineering of the engine itself. Who knows. GM aint talkin. Had a friend use Blue Devil on a Hyundai at 120,000 miles. Barely ran. Still running well at 150,000. To me, if you get another year it's well worth it. If I have to replace an engine, well, ok. Chevys are exciting and could make a cool video. I would have fun with it like we did back in the day. Keeps my tools from rusting! (and me)
@@lifeafterlife8417 if it keeps you young and and handsome, than you must dance with the Blue Devil by the pale moon light. Lmao. I know if you had a Ford, you'd be sitting in a rocking chair. Lol. Thanks Blaze.
@@lifeafterlife8417 and it's none of my business, for sure. But really are divorced? If so ,wow. I didn't figure on that ever happening. Hope all the kids are doing well with things. I've been working out of the old shop for 9 year's now. I do well. And I'm happier working for myself. Than these big name rip off shop's I used to be employed by. I can sleep at night. And I like the single life also. I'm done with all the drama! You know? Take care Tank😎
@@lifeafterlife8417 Right ! Lol. Don't think so all vehicles are built in Asia these days, some assembly required in the US or Mexico. Lol. Warning warming Will Robinson , The Fusion is even worse than the Impala. I HATE The Fusion Onda The Mercury Montego. But they keep me in a job.lol. Good luck sitting in that Rocking chair. Lol. Silly.
