Uhh what is head gasket fix? Stop leak? That stuff might clog your radiator and maybe block heater core.

If you used some kind of pour-in head gasket sealer, then expect to have major repairs down the line.

+2. It may stop leaks, but it also stops flow.

if used properly i can extend the life of a dieing engine, but if your motor had life left in it, i wouldnt use it, i'd get your head gaskets done asap along with a through coolant flush if u can afford it, that gasket in a bottle stuff is tough to get right
