Anyone heard about this stuff?? Reply #1 – June 25, 2009, 08:04:42 PM Don't waste your money. Replace the head gaskets properly. Even if that "can-o-head-gasket" worked temporarily you'd never be able to trust the car again. Quote Selected
Anyone heard about this stuff?? Reply #2 – June 26, 2009, 07:40:52 AM many years ago when my friends headgasket went in his 92 legend, which if you know is a bitch to fix on these, we used this stuff that came in a tin can, i dont recall the exact name it was very watery and kinda looked like a can or that engine restore stuff. after doing it properly, which meant closing off the heater core from the system, flushing the coolant so only regular water remained and letting it sit for about a day after treatment and driving it around for a week before hooking back up the heater core that gasket stuff held up for almost 3 years. after it failed we eventually pulled the heads to do it right. when we looked at the heads we noticed the crud left behind in every passage from that stuff, how ridiculously hard it was to clean off what we could of it and after the head shop refused to do the heads(because of the crud) we learned a valuable lesson, even though we were broke doing it right the first time wouldve been less of a hassle.they work pretty good if you do it right but unless your selling the car dont.no more "magic fix in a can" for me.
