Liquid Glass??? Has anyone used liquid glass? My Camaro is overheating AGAIN, I just put a new water pump on, did all the basic stuff(t-stat, checked hoses, fans) I'm worried that a head gasket might be leaking

To answer ur question I have had blue devil head gasket liquid glass in a DD car for a year now.. It stopped water getting into a cylinder and steaming exhaust and/or filling that cylinder when not running while under pressure...

I haven't put the liquid glass in yet...the oil still looks good and normal, not milky. I am not sure if it is a blown head gasket or not. I'm starting to think there might be a short somewhere causing the fans to turn on sometimes and not turn other times...the problem seems to get worse when I stop and idle. I had a mechanic look and give me a second opinion, he said the crack in the radiator should not be causing the problem because of where it is located. I have a hard time believing that since water and air is escaping out of the crack. I would think that it's about the same as having a bad radiator cap, or worse.

I agree with you guys, I put some jb weld on the crack. This morning It did just fine, no overheating on the way to work. I know it is a temporary fix, I will be replacing the radiator soon!

Yea, no doubt you will have overheating issues , wtf was that mechanic thinking....He must have not heard anything you asked him cause all the blood rushed outta his brain while you were talking lol.. You might get away with putting on some latex...... Gloves and work that crack from the inside too and completely fill it
