synthetic oil and head gasket problem

RE: synthetic oil and head gasket problem
had anyone tried the THERMAGASKET (Thermagasket is a 2-part, Ceramic Fiber, Elemental Carbon and Iron Metallic Alloy compound suspended in a liquid.
It works in all aluminum, steel, and cast iron engine blocks ) Whenever there is a breach in the head gasket, a cracked head or block, a hot spot develops at the point of the breach. That hot spot can reach temperatures 3 to 4 times that of normal engine operating temperatures! When Thermagasket comes into contact with this superheated area, it instantly forms a perfect high-temperature seal!
Once the breach is sealed by Thermagasket’s metallic alloys, it deflects the heat away from the patch eliminating the hot spot and preserving the long term integrity of the repair!
what do you think guys?

No your not crazy with different vis's of both conventional oil and syn oil. Thats where the weights come in, for example during the winter many people use a 5w30 because its a thinner oil then a 10w30 and reaches it operating temp faster in colder climates. PErsonally I use a 10w30 super syn all year round. I find that its able to warm up fast enough in the winter and is still thin enough to prevent crank globs.
For the headgasket repair stuff... The only permanent fix is a replacment gasket. IF you want to try that first go for it but personally I would just replace the gasket and get the timming belt over with.

hey thanks for your opinion slow420a, i think , im going for the replacement cuz i did some research and found out about the disadvantages of using thermagasket or similars.
b.t.w
average price for timing belt , tensioner ?

RE: synthetic oil and head gasket problem
i rented the actron obd II cp9135 error codes on my mitsu eclipse 97 auto 2.0
P0750 Shift Solenoid A Malfunction
P0700 Transmission Control System Malfunction
do you think changing the solenoid will fix the problem?
btw. i bought the CHILTON manual for my car .
any help, tip or money is appreciated

RE: synthetic oil and head gasket problem
i know man, i been looking everywhere and i cant find where is located the shift solenoid or transmission solenoid or something similar that can lead me to check the wires etc etc.
the only thing that i found was the solenoid and pressure switch connector in the chilton manual but it doesnt show where is the solenoid or where to connect it.
anyone with pictures or diagrams of that part ?

RE: synthetic oil and head gasket problem
I'd like to clear up the synthetic thing once and for all. The viscosity is the same. You get 10W30 conventional OR synth it will STILL be 10W30. There is no difference in the weight. Molecularly there is a difference. Molecular size will be different thus the reason for leaks being exploited with a synth. Imagine this is a conventional oil molecule: O nice and big and round. Now the synthetic molecule of the SAME viscosity is this size: o. Easier to slip through holes that O wouldn't fit through. So the synth isn't thinner it's merely smaller. Hopefully this clears up the debate on viscosity and molecular size of conventional Vs. Synthetic oil.
