My neon is leaking oil and my mechanic said it is coming from the head gasket. He said you could get by it for a while if you keep adding oil to it, it did not look that bad. He said it need $1300 to replace the head gasket. I am surfing the web today and I found this website, said it repair the head gasket without taking the engine apart. Just wonder did anyone heard of or use it before. I had a 98 neon SOHC with 103,000 miles on it. Please help.

depending on where you live take it to spud he will do it for you at a resonable price too. also you should have the MLS gasket (multi layerd steel)
and while you have it at spuds if you do decide to take it there you should replace the timing belt too that should be done at 100,000 miles

 

The problem for me is the cam seal is leaking at 90K and I replace the timing belt and water pump last time. So, that is why I am looking for a quick fix if it would last like another 20K before taking it apart again.

 

I am not sure do I have a MLS gasket, it is a 98, that is all I know. and this is my first head gasket problem, I think I should consider myself lucky already. I never drive this car past 70 mph, so I guess this should help the live of my engine. I am expecting the head gasket for a while now, I am suprise it last this long. but even now, it is just leaking and the oil/coolant still fine. I think I could still drive it for a little while.

 

my opinion is that product is just a gimmick that couldn't possibly work right. head gaskets are busy places with a mix of med pressure oil (40 psi), low pressure coolant (12 psi) and high pressure combustion (150 psi). its a wonder they don't all blow out. any product that can mysteriously fix a problem in any or all of these environments is BS. at best, that product will do nothing, at the worst it will clog up your radiator and burn up the motor. follow you mechanic's advice - keep it full of oil until it either gets worse, or you decide to fix it. you might find a little cheaper fix, or if you've got the desire, fix it yourself.

 

I dont see anything like that working, especilly for 20k, sounds like a rip off to me, did you ever consider doing the head gasket yourself?
