Can I safely use head gasket sealer in my very high mileage 2008 Sequoia?

Hey Scotty, I have a 08 sequoia that may have a blown head gasket, the repair would cost more than the car is worth so I'm thinking of using head gasket sealer like steelseal or blue devil. My question is can doing so possibly harm the engine like clogging up the radiator hoses?

may have a blown head gasket,

find out for sure. There are many signs, and Scotty has multiple videos how to find out.

How much is the cost to replace head gasket, and how much is your car worth? With used car prices what they are now, it could still be worth it.


The car has 525k miles on it so if the engine blows it's not worth more than scrap.

Have it evaluated and get the sale price in black & white. 

Then take a call on the head gasket repair or engine replacement. 

Like @mmj says, your vehicle might still be worth something.
