I am very alarmed that people are suggesting the use of
K-seal or
Steel Seal.

Do NOT, under any circumstances, use these products in your engine. They will cause an escalation in cooling system problems and, once added, are virtually impossible to remove. Put bluntly, they are bodger man's tool. Judging by
Lear and
Ducati750cc's usual posts, neither belongs in this category.
Knowing Dave (Stocktake) I do not believe that he was promoting the use of
Steel Seal. Note the amusing spelling:

It's clear to me that the point Dave is making is that the tests he has suggested are inexpensive
by comparing them to the price of a bottle of the devil's potion. It's no more than that.
There are many long and woeful tales from members who have had
K-Seal and
Steel Seal put into their engines. Anybody considering or recommending this course of action should read these depressing accounts.
