i was told by a buddy who ownes a garage that i didnt have to rip my motor apart to replace the hg's. His quick fix worked!!! I went to the website and ordered a bottle of this miracle juice. I completely drained and flushed my coolant system. (very important). Then with the motor being cold I poured the juice directly into the block. I started the car with the heat and fan on full boar and let the car idle @ 1,000 RPM's for sixty min. then i let the car completely cool. and there i had it...fixed head gasket.
Check it out....

For a month. Clogs your radiator and water tunnels...
Been there and done that. People only use that before they sell their car.

no amount of fluid will refinish warped metal, or replace missing material for any amount of time.
i would use that stuff, IF, say i was in montana, halfway thru a drive from here(fl) to alaska, and didnt have long term plans for the car.
or if i simply didnt have long term plans for the car.
if something sounds to good, or easy to be true, it probably is, or everyone would be doing it.

Fail... plan on actually having to replace you hg's pretty soon.... I hope your buddy isn't passing this work off as actual HG repair, if so he shouldn't be in busines.

Yeah, I tried that stuff - like the above said, it just clogs the heater core & radiator. Even now years later I still see bits and pieces of that crap appear at the radiator cap (even with new engine & radiator), so apparently there's still some stuck restricting flow in my heater core.

that's only half the price of the gaskets,
save up and buy the headgaskets.

That stuff works kind of like the platelets in your blood. It flows to the areas of leaks and blocks them off. The problem is that the "magic juice" can't differentiate between a leak and a tight passage. So it will plug up the multiple tight passages in your radiator and heater core. So in the end, you are making the problem significantly worse, because now not only do you have to replace the head gaskets, but you'll have to replace the heater core, radiator and completely flush out the system.
