They can be pretty handy with radiator repair jobs on the fly.

The problem with some of this goop is that it has a shelf life - especially when it lives in the back of a 4X4 constantly sitting in the hot sun. You cart it around for years and the day you really need it it's just a solid lump!

Yeah, that's what I've found with two of the damn gasket sealant tubes. I haven't used them for ages and when I needed it, it's gone hard. I had to cut it open to use some of the unhardned goo left in the middle. I think it's better to keep under the seats or something.

I'm with @PeeBee on this one, Dom. That pitting will only get worse if not machined off. Do the job once, do it right.
My advice is: not to follow my advice.

Good point, does require review and not simply forgotten about. I treat all this type of stuff like a food product, has a shelf life.

Yeah, of course mate. I can't argue with that fact. I am just trying to get the bastard going for couple of months or so and then deal with the issue. It's pretty bad and stressful time for me with too much going on. I can even give a go at machining the block deck myself, but I'm not doing well atm.

No good, mate. Yesterday, I had to palm the Falcon off to a mechanic to get the head gasket done, as there is no way I could bend to that low height for the length of time needed at the moment. Got a call to say the head had already been previously welded due to corrosion. I asked for his judgement call, and he says 98% OK. I said "Its only an EB Falcon. Whack the head back on and we'll deal with it in the next year or so." He has another EB in the yard and I plan to strip it for parts.
My advice is: not to follow my advice.
