What is ThermalWeld? ThermalWeld is a unique blend of lubricating graphite and heat activated expanding ceramic fiber.  It is water-soluble and non-toxic.

  What does ThermalWeld do? ThermalWeld repairs blown head gaskets in vehicles that have experienced severe overheating or head gasket structural failure.

What is a blown head gasket?  A blown head gasket is a breach in the gasket that forms a gas-tight seal between the cylinder head from the engine block.  This failure occurs typically in older cars that have experienced severe overheating or in vehicles that have been rebuilt or repaired incorrectly.  During severe overheating, the head warps allowing the gasket to fail.  This results in exhaust gasses escaping from the cylinder into to water cooling ports and often into adjacent oil ports.

 

What are the symptoms of a blown head gasket?  The most visual indication of a blown head gasket is steam coming from the tail pipe after the car is warm.  However, many cars that have minor damage to head gaskets do not exhibit any major visual indicators and must be detected by checking the cooling system for exhaust gasses.  Another symptom frequently encountered is water in the oil.  This is detectable by the milky white emulsion that appears first under the oil cap and then on the dipstick.

 

What services does ThermalWeld offer?  A ThermalWeld Technician offers his clients an alternative to the high cost of traditional head gasket repairs. Since we do not know the level of damage each car has experienced, guidelines have been created based on years of in-field experience. These guidelines allow technicians to evaluate a vehicles need for head gasket repair over the phone, and decided whether to proceed with a free house call. A survey of ThermalWeld Technicians who service new and used car dealers, vehicle donation centers, and salvage yards find they can successfully repair 8 out of 10 vehicles.

 

Can ThermalWeld be purchased over the counter? NO! ThermalWeld is not available to the retail market and may only be used by trained ThermalWeld Technicians.

 

How much does ThermalWeld cost?  ThermalWeld is sold exclusively to ThermalWeld Technicians. They normally charge less than $300 for their service. Each treatment is guaranteed to perform to the customer's satisfaction. Failure during the initial treatment or during warranty period will be reimbursed at no charge.

 

What if ThermalWeld fails to repair a vehicle?  Since failures occur in about 20% of the applications, Thermalweld has developed a policy that is both fair to the customer and the technician. The customer is charged nothing if ThermalWeld does not perform to the customer's satisfaction. If the treatment fails during the warranty period, the customer receives a free re-treatment. If re-treatment fails, then the vehicle head gasket is beyond ThermalWeld's capability to repair the head gasket, and the customer receives a 100% refund on the cost of the treatment.

 

Can ThermalWeld damage a Vehicle?  Thermalweld is intended for use in vehicle cooling systems only. Vehicle cooling systems include the radiator, water pump, thermostat, radiator cap, and connecting hoses. ThermalWeld will not damage the water pump or clog the radiator.
