Well you think it is going to hold but sorry to say but the stuff you put in will only hold for about a month or so and all that stuff really does is plug the hole and then it will eventually get forced out by the compression and you will be lucky if the stuff did not get into which ever piston it is by and it will sit on top of the piston and when it gets hot enough it will melt right through the piston and then you will be looking at a hell of a lot more expensive repairs, trust me on this one i used the same stuff on my 89 supra and that happened and when the stuff melted through my piston it sent shrapnel down into the oil pan and it took out 3 out of the 6 connecting rod bearings and the fine shrapnel from the bearings took out my oil pump, if i was you i would get that stuff out of there ASAP, take it in and replace the head gasket.

otherwise you are looking at about roughly $950 or better in engine repairs.
