Uhm, I have never had (that I know of) a compression gasket failure, so I cannot speak of this scenario, but every 2.1 I have ever had (except my current GoWesty 2.3,) has had a coolant gasket leak which I successfully stopped with Barr's Stop Leak. The only adverse effect I ever noted, was some residue in the coolant reservoir (which I cleaned out.) Also, I never realized any compromise to the cooling system. Miguel |
