    Question Bar's Leaks Head Gasket Fix

    Picked up a bottle of this yesterday.

    http://www.barsproducts.com/1111.htm

    I don't think it will work. But in the event that it does, after using it and changing the oil, how long do you think it will last until it blows again?

    Depends on how bad the leak is. IMO Don't take any long trips.

    It will last long enough for you to hydrolock/ burn up piston rings/ loose all compression.

    Good. The worse the problem, the less likely my dad will keep telling me to fix it instead of just letting it go.

    I stated in the first post that I don't think it will work.

    And no, not a redneck, pretty far from it actually.

    Didn't you buy your car just recently?


    I imagine this product working for a very small leak, but not what I have.

    Yeah, to class because on campus parking is expensive and my car is unreliable.

    I don't see what that has to do with selling/getting rid of my car though.

    Dont' use that.

    Use the blue devil, it really works and is permanent(speaking from personal experience), it's expensive though, but it does work.
