Default Advice or process for hot sealing my block

I just had new top hat sleeves pressed into my block to correct a slipped sleeve (cylinder 4), but before I start re-assembling the motor, I also wanted to "hot seal" it to assure that any remaining microcracks get filled.

Has anyone ever done this and can recommend a hot seal as well as a procedure to do it?

Thanks.

I found several products at summit

In collaboration with Drow, came up with a simple hot water tank and old transfer pump.

hard blok is the best for that.




we are referring to filling voids on the walls and help with heat dissipation and protection to combat future micro fissure bs

Should you hot seal before or after pressing new sleeves in?
