Don’t Blow Your Gasket

Posted on July 13, 2010 by Lynn Charles Rathbun

But if you do, there is a product to fix that. The people at CRC who make a lot of different products to fix your car have a new product to fix gaskets. Normally if you blow a gasket in a car engine you have to take everything apart and replace the gasket. This stuff apparently eliminates that problem “Using Nanotechnology, this product fills in cracks and crevices other products can’t, making a stronger, more solid bond that’s permanently hardened to the surface area.” Nanooze hasn’t tried this but hey nanotechnology saves the day (again).http://tinyurl.com/nanogasket
