Having a cracked engine block can feel like the end of your vehicle’s life. Engine swaps can be extremely expensive and often not worth the investment in your current vehicle. Also, having a cracked block is one of those extreme cases where it may not be possible to salvage your current engine.
There are many who have attempted to repair cracked blocks. The main difficult is that you cannot simply weld an engine block since it is made from cast iron, not steel. It is possible to weld cast iron using an arc welder and the proper welding rods, but that often can cause deformation to your engine block, or leave the welded area far more brittle and susceptible to further cracking. The other common attempt at fixing a cracked block is called cold metal stitching. This process is similar to sewing two pieces of fabric together, except it is far more difficult with metal. The main difficulty with this process is that it does not work well on components that experience drastic temperature changes as the temperature change causes swelling and shrinking of the metal which will cause the metal stitching to tear and the crack to reopen. This process is also often prohibitively expensive and only used on very large or expensive motors such as heavy equipment, diesel engines or marine motors.
There have been a variety of other attempts at sealing cracked engine blocks like using cold welding products, 2 part epoxies or a variety of other patches and fixes. The problem in most cases is the same as with cold metal stitching in that the wide range of operating temperatures in your vehicle’s motor along with the thermal expansion of the metal cause most repairs to only last for a short time.
Before you attempt any repair on your cracked engine block, you want to be sure that is the problem you have. If you have an external crack in your block that you can see, then the problem is easily identified. If you have an internal crack the symptoms can often be similar to that of a blown head gasket. To determine if you have a blown head gasket, you can read our article about the symptoms of a blown head gasket.
The best way to seal a cracked block is to use BlueDevil Radiator and Block Sealer. BlueDevil Radiator and Block Sealer is a specially formulated sealing agent that you add to your vehicle’s cooling system. BlueDevil Radiator and Block Sealer can seal your cracked block from the inside out through your vehicle’s cooling system. It is not a fibrous or particulate sealer that can harm or clog any other areas of your cooling system. Instead, BlueDevil Radiator and Block Sealer has a special chemical formula that will bond to the metal in your engine block at the leak point until the leak is completely sealed. The chemical weld formed by BlueDevil Radiator and Block Sealer will create a permanent seal that can expand and contract with the temperature changes in your engine. Since there is nothing harmful in BlueDevil Radiator and Block Sealer it can stay in your cooling system indefinitely sealing any future leaks your may have in your vehicle’s radiator or engine block.
BlueDevil Radiator and Block sealer works so well, it comes with a guarantee of performance. If you purchase it from BlueDevil or one of our partnering local auto parts stores we guarantee a permanent repair!
Since you’ve got nothing to lose, pick up BlueDevil Radiator and Block Sealer today! You can purchase it directly from BlueDevil here.

I used Blue Devil, on an 84 Buick 5.7 Diesel Engine that had either a cracked block or a blown head gasket, and it worked very well. Sealed the leak successfully and was very happy with the product. Company Technicians were very helpful and very interested in solving my problem. Wished I still had that vehicle, as it was an Estate Wagon, pretty rare with the Diesel engine !!
I got a crack head on buick will it help
Duwaine-
Yes, we recommend applying BlueDevil Head Gasket Sealer (http://store.gobdp.com/head-gasket-sealer-38386/) to seal the cracked head.

Mildred-
As long as the vehicle will maintain idle for a full 45 minutes, without overheating or stalling out, and you are not losing more than about a quart of water/coolant during that 45 minutes, you would be a great candidate for the BlueDevil Radiator & Block Sealer (http://store.gobdp.com/radiator-block-sealer-00205/).
Thank you!

How do I run this in an inboard boat engine
Jason-
The key of the BlueDevil working is that you are able to circulate the same body of water for the recommended 50 minute idle; on a marine engine you could use a bucket or barrel to accomplish this. The other necessity is that the water will heat to at least 150 degrees during that run. Feel free to contact our technical support line at 888-863-0426 with any other questions.

F 250 larait 2008 6.4 super diesel, they said cracked block, truck runs. Poured water in reservoir comes out of oil drain plug. Will blue devil help.
Tony-
Thank you for asking about your Ford F-250. Based on your description, it sounds as though you are losing water just as quickly as you add it. If that is the case, the leak would be larger than what the BlueDevil Head Gasket Sealer is intended for. A hard part repair may be your best option.
Thank you!

Hi. I drive a 2003 Honda Civic. It has been reconditioned @ cost of $12,000 CA. Now I have been told there’s an internal crack in the engine block (by crank sensor). How can Blue Devil’s Radiator & Block Sealer work through the rad to fix an area where oil drips from? And I’m very concerned about what particles may be running through the system. You guarantee there will be no damage. Sure?
Patrick-
Thank you for asking about your Honda Civic. Unfortunately, we do not manufacture a product intended to stop oil dripping from the block. The BlueDevil Radiator & Block Sealer is only intend for water/coolant leaks, specifically, an external seep or a light drip coming from the radiator or block. Based on your description, a hard part repair may be your best option.

I have a 2007 odyssey with 148,000 miles it s been giving me multiples misfire took it to a specialist and they yold me that cylinder 5 is low presure it evaporates my coolant and its smells like coolant wen is warm they said i need to replace the motor it will be spencive
Agustin-
Thank you for asking about your Honda Oddyssey. It is also possible that you are getting combustion/exhaust gases pumping back into the cooling system. You can use a “Block Dye Tester” to confirm whether or not that is the case.
BlueDevil Head Gasket Sealer will still work if your vehicle is getting combustion/exhaust gases blowing into the cooling system and creating pressure. To give yourself the best overall chance of BlueDevil working successfully, in addition to the directions, you should remove the spark plug from the cylinder with the leak; this will be the spark plug from the cylinder with the low compression reading. If you are not sure which one that is, you may pull all of the spark plugs and will notice one will have a white-crystal-like substance on it and/or may look dirty; this is the plug you should pull. Leave that plug out for the 50 minute idle in order to relieve the pressure from building up and thus allowing the product to seal properly. Be sure to follow the guidelines for the proper amount to use based on the size of your cooling system.
Thank you!

-BDP
Did you ever get the crack fixed?
what about using it on a marine engine?
Scott-
Yes, the BlueDevil Head Gasket Sealer can be used in marine engines. The marine engine must be inboard for BlueDevil to work properly due to the fact that you need the same water to circulate for 50 minutes.
Thank You!
-BDP
Can it be used on an inboard/outboard by increasing the concentration of the product and recirculating using a tub to provide cooling water and catch the exhausted water?
Jonathan-
As long as you are able to use a barrel/bucket to circulate the same water for the 50 minute idle. The main components you need are a combination of heat (at least 150 degrees) and circulation.
Thank You!
-BDP
Jonathon,
How did it work for you on your marine engine?
When recycling the same water, did you have temperature issues?

Had a leak on a 86 corvette 5.7 used half gallon of antifreeze every 30 miles or so did not leak into oil or exhaust could not find leak did pressure test held pressure for long time then slowly would drop couple pounds so i bought 2 bottles of pour and go and it slowed leak way down now i can drive a couple weeks and only lose 20 ounces sometimes so I put the pressure test back on it got underneath of it and was looking I’m looking from the top and right where the crank pulley is somebody that I bought the car from before and put some kind of silicone or something there so I guess the block is cracked there but Blue Devil head gasket sealer fill dirt from the inside and now it only leaks a little bit so I’m very satisfied with the product but I’m wondering if I should put block sealer in there and maybe that will fix it from the inside to where it won’t leak at all

Can the radiator and block sealer be used on a marine engine? I think I have an internal Crack inside the block due to poor winterization.
Martin-
Yes, the BlueDevil Radiator & Block Sealer can be used on marine engines; it must be an inboard motor.
Thank You!
-BDP
It is an inboard. 454 big block. Is there a mixture ratio that I need to follow. Since I will be circulating the same water out of a tank through the cooling system I wasn’t sure how many bottles I would need.
Martin-
Please contact us directly at 888-863-0426 and we will be happy to get a capacity chart to you or discuss it with you over the phone. If you purchase the 32 ounce BlueDevil Head Gasket Sealer, it does come with a capacity table printed on the bottle.
Thank You!
-BDP
I have a 110 Outboard that has water in the #4 Cylinder. Is this a product that I can use?
Bart-
The BlueDevil Radiator & Block Sealer can only be used in outboard motors if you are able to circulate the same water for the 45 minute run; using a 5 gallon bucket would accomplish this. The other need is that the water will heat to at least 150 degrees F. during that run. Feel free to contact our technical support line at 888-863-0426 with any other questions.
Thank you!
-BDP
I used bars stop leak for a blown head gasket or cracked cylinder head. It fixed the water coming out of tail pipe and there is no water in the oil. However the car is losing compression and has a miss. Do you think this is a cracked cylinder and do you think your product can fix this ??
Larry,
Thanks for your question about your leak. Even if you do not have coolant in the oil or out of the exhaust you may still have a small coolant leak either from a blown head gasket or a cracked cylinder head. If you had water in your oil you could be losing compression due to corrosion of the cylinder walls or cylinder rings as well as a crack in your head, block or a partially blown head gasket. Unfortunately, to confirm any of these things you would have to tear down your engine to check.
Thanks again for your question!
-BD Auto Pro
Do yall make something for a desiel

Yes, the BlueDevil Head Gasket Sealer would work on diesel as well as gasoline engines. Feel free to contact our technical support line at 888-863-0426 with any other questions.
Thank you!
-BDP
What does the guarantee cover? I have a cracked block for sure. It is located right under the intake manifold where the lifters are on a 350 sbc. It is allowing coolant to mix with my oil. I’ll have to buy upper gasket set if I use this block including new head gaskets. Will the guarantee cover all my part costs? The labor I do myself.
Matt-
The product carries a money back guarantee. If the product does not work we will reimburse the purchase price of the BlueDevil product purchased.

will blue devil work in 2stroke engines?
Nick-
Yes, it will work in a 2 stroke engine. Be sure to follow the capacity chart as you will not need a whole lot to treat a cooling system of that size.
Feel free to contact us at 888-863-0426 with any questions.
Thank You!
-BDP
Can this product seal an engine with a hole?
Maddness-
As long as the vehicle will not lose more than about 1 quart of water during a 45 minute idle then there is a very good chance the BlueDevil Radiator & Block Sealer will be able to seal it. If you are losing more than that then your vehicle will require a hard part repair.
Thank you!
-BDP
I was wondering that if you use the blue devil and it seals it,does it allow you to drive far distances without it messing up again or no?
Erika-
Once BlueDevil creates a seal it is permanent. There is no restriction on speed or distance; neither would affect the quality of the seal.
Thanks!
-BDP
I have an 89 dodge caravan with two small cracks in the block no bigger than a penny, would this product work and should i try sealing it from the outside as well?

Hi I have twin Mercruisers I/O’s with GM 305’s on my boat with cracked blocks on the inboard side of each block. It is a fresh water boat, however there is rust residue coming from the cracked areas (which we would expect).
1) Will the rust reside affect your products ability to seal?
2) Do you have any solutions for circulating your product on mercruiser I/O Stern Drives ?
Thanks
Jim-
Yes, the rust residue could potentially affect the BlueDevil’s ability to seal.
We have had customers use the product in marine engines by circulating the same water in a barrel or bucket. The main components you will need are circulation of the same body of water (3 – 4 gallons preferably) and heat.
Feel free to contact our tech support team at 888-863-0426 with any further questions.

I don’t know if my block is cracked are the head gaskets are bad but what product do I use because I don’t have a radiator it’s water cooled
David-
Based on your description, we recommend using the BlueDevil Head Gasket Sealer (http://store.gobdp.com/head-gasket-sealer-38386/). The product would treat blown head gaskets as well as a crack in the block. Does the system use a water pump to circulate water? Feel free to contact our technical support line at 888-863-0426 with any other questions.
Thank you!

Hi Jim I also have an I/O with a cracked block just wondering if you have tried to seal it and how it worked? Thanks
my car was always over heating.. I thought it was the water pump cause water was leaking out of the bottom. We replaced that and the thermostat. We took it for a ride it it lose power, shared and heVy white smoke and water came out the exhaust… We were told it’s a blown head gasket. We bought the blue devil. Took it for a drive again, the smoke & shaking went away.. But it still over heats. I don’t know what else is wrong.
JD-
There are a number of reasons your engine can overheat. We have previously posted an article that relates directly to your question. The article can be read here: https://gobdp.com/blog/why-is-my-car-overheating/

If I use this product for en exterior cracked block will this prevent me from doing any future work to the motor? Someone told me after using this they were unable to remove the head without harming the head itself. It’s a 1952.
Chris-
Use of the BlueDevil product would not change the difficulty of making any future repairs. The product is attracted to airflow and reacts to temperature differential to create a chemical weld; therefore the seal created by BlueDevil will only show up at the point of any leak.
Thanks!
-BDP
If my radiator leaks and is empty, do I need to pour some water in before pouring the product to keep the product from leaking out?
Pam-
Yes, the cooling system should be basically full just leaving enough room for the recommended amount of BlueDevil.
Thank You!
-BDP
Do I need to drain all antifreeze before using blue devil
Kenny-
Yes, you should flush the cooling system and refill it with water.
Thanks!
-BDP
Will blue devil seal a crack in a 305 inboard/outboard about 4 to 5 inches long if we circulate the same water or is that too long of a crack?
Echo-
It really depends how quickly you are losing coolant. In general, BlueDevil will have a great shot at working as long as you will not lose more than about 1 quart of water during a 50 minute idle.
You will definitely want to circulate the same water if you decide to use BlueDevil to ensure proper results. Feel free to contact our tech support team at 888-863-0426 with any questions.

I have a1930 model a with 2″ hairline crack in the blocks exterior . My concern is will this clog my radiator. A friend used bars and it clogged his radiator . Model a engines are an open system not under pressure . Would that make a differance ?
Tom,
Thanks for your question about your Model A. The low pressure of an open system won’t make a difference as it is the temperature differential at the leak that activates BlueDevil Radiator and Block Sealer. Similarly, BlueDevil Radiator and Block Sealer won’t clog your radiator as the temperature differentials there aren’t great enough to activate the sealing agent.
Thanks for your question!

I had either a blown head gasket or a crack somewhere in the engine. Was smelling gasoline in the coolant and getting small amounts of water in the oil. I used Blue Devil with some degree of apathy and pessimism. My tune changed real quick cause this stuff works. Thank you Blue Devil! Getting parts or engines is impossible in a 3rd world island.
my 2009 Camry motor had small crack they said fixed with
Blue Devil, now they’ve recalled my car for the oil enhancement
problem replaced all pistons,rings and rods will this put
to much stress on engine to make it undo Blue Devil’s weld
Jimmy-
Thank you for your question. Once the product seals, it would be a permanent seal. Replacing the pistons, rings and rods would not effect the weld the product created.

As long as the location with the crack is in a coolant passage BlueDevil Radiator and Block Sealer is guaranteed to seal your leak and get your backhoe running again. If the 2 cylinders do not have a water jacket between them then unfortunately you will need to have your block welded and machined.
Thanks again for your question!

King-
Unfortunately, we do not manufacture a product for the leak you have described. The BlueDevil Head Gasket Sealer is only intended for coolant leaks and the BlueDevil Oil Stop Leaks would only be for the rubber seals or rubber gaskets in the system.
Thank you!

Will it work on a 2000 dodge carvan if the block is cracked
Rob-
Yes, BlueDevil is able to seal leaks coming from the block. As long as the vehicle can idle for 50 minutes without overheating or stalling out, and you are not losing more than about a quart of water/coolant during that idle period, the product should be able to seal your leak.
Thank you!

I have a 09 Suzuki Grand Vitara 2.4, it has a small hairline crack about an inch long, in the aluminum block external above the oil filter, only leaking antifreeze, it never leaks a lot and the vehicle never overheats, I like to use Blue Devil I’ve been kind of hesitant, because I’m afraid is going to clog up my heater coil or thermostat, please help with this??
