Take the thermostat out, take the spark plug or glow plug out in the affected area and run for 30 minutes, this will properly seal the affected area head gasket. Do a visual inspection of the spark plug to see if it's wet , the wet one is the one you leave out because it takes the pressure off the sealer giving it time to cure and seal
You should have had the radiator cap fully closed , as the pressurised the cooling system to fill the crack or gap under pressure . No pressure except for combustion may have pushed it out of leak and not in . Just my way of thinking , i could be wrong .
Look for a product called Dyna-Grip Seal Tite Coolant Sealer, it's a great product. Flush the system and add it but put the Radiator cap on all the way, I've had really good results with this and it won't block up the Radiator
my problem is the radiator is getting pressurised by the cracked head and it either blows the hoses off and has actually warped the radiator ... so in my case it needs replacing the head or motor.
I dont get the logic, clearly you have piston or oil pressure pushing into the cooling system. Chemiweld is good on the coolant system, but cannot penetrate through where the pressure is coming from. I dont know if there is a fuel or oil additive you can add to your oil or fuel(chambers) Chemiweld would work good if you had water in your oil or piston. Head gasket is your best case scenario.

Lovely ep and update old fellow I hope you get it sorted,
Still working on it ...
@@aussiewalkabout4x4 Oh well lest you got home to work on it

I'm guessing the pressure pushed the Chemiweld out of the cracks which is why it didn't work

Next time try sodium silicate

@@doscwolny2221 yeh the Chemiweld did not work for me in my situation.
