I recently found out my head gasket has blown. (3VZE)
I've flushed my motor multiple times to get all the water out of the circulation.
Put some fresh oil in it and turn the truck on. My tailpipe throws out more white smoke. Check the oil and it looks like coffee.
Since i'm on a budget and canNOT afford a head gasket replacement right now i picked up some of the well known K&W Head gasket repair.

So basically i'm asking if anyone has had any experience with the Block seal or has ever used or known someone that used it..

Any help is very appreciated. Thanks in advance!

I know your on a budget, but don't do it. It will end up costing you more down the road with everthing in your truck pluged up. Search here for stuff called thermogasket and see what it does to your engine. Look at the pictures and then see if you want that stuff in your engine.

Your best bet is to suck it up and redo the head gaskets yourself (if you can). You can probably get aways with it only costing you $200-$400 and you don't have to worry about it again.

Thats what i was thinking. I can get the full gasket set from engnbldr.com for 119+10 dollar shipping. But then idk what else i would need. I searched for some write ups on here but nothing on head gasket repair.
Ive heard this K&W stuff works from a few people but i was just trying to see if anyone else has used it.

There are TONS of write-ups on here for the 3.0 head gasket repair. These engines are bad for blowing head gaskets.

Here is a good one - this also shows the timing belt/water pump change which I highly reccommend while your in there
