Engine Cooling problem
1997 Ford Escort Front Wheel Drive Manual

just recently had my head gasket changed and dicovered there is a deeper problem, i had k-seal in my car and has managed to set hard in parts of my water system stopping all water flow around the engine..

Is there a chemical or product i can use to dislodge or dissolve it or do i need to replace my whole system
(water pump is working fine)
only leak of water known is into my footwell due to pressure build up..no visible damage or swelling of pipes or components..

If you could help me with this problem it would be much appriciated due to paying £300 for head gasket change and could still possibly ruin engine..

Thank you,

You will have to strip the engine down and discover which part is actually blocked ..
