How to change a roof seal in a leaky RV?

there are many products that will temporarily stop a head gasket from leaking -BUT these are not permanent fixes.you can use a chemical like this ( i have ) but you really should have the gasket replaced because it only takes a very small amount of antifreeze in the engine oil to destroy a crankshaft.

1995 Ford F-150 has bad vibration at 1300 rpm.?

It might work and if it does it will only work for a little while. Bottom line is sooner or later you will have to replace the head gasket and if you put this stuff in there it will have to be cleaned out later. Trust me - not good. Better to suck it up and replace the head gasket.

I have a 96 honda accord and recently my dashboard has shown a breaklamp light. What does this mean?

u cannot repair a head gasket with sealant or anything other than a brand new head gasket. theoretically u could but ur gauranteed to be replacing it again like the next week. u have to remember a motor is like a giant vacuum there is pressure being suked in but there is also pressure being pushed out due to oil n water n other stuff. so yes ur sealant would work for like 1 minute.
