How Do You Fix A Main Gasket With Liquid Glass?
• Purchase Sodium Silicate (Liquid Glass) from a pharmacy. Purchase new thermostat and associated thermostat gasket(s). • Drain coolant system by disconnecting the large hose from the bottom of the radiator. Also disconnect the large hose from the top of the radiator. • Remove the thermostat and reconnect the hose without a thermostat. • Flush the coolant system thoroughly with hose water to remove trace amounts of antifreeze. Run water through the large hose which was disconnected from the top of the radiator and leads to the engine. Watch the water coming out of the large hose which was disconnected from the bottom of the radiator until it turns clear. Do the same to the radiator by running water through the top and watching it pour out the bottom. • Reconnect all the coolant system hoses and the old thermostat gasket without the thermostat. • In a container, pour about a quart of water. Add the liquid glass and mix thoroughly. • Add the liquid glass/water mixture to the radiator. To
