Blown Head Gasket Snake Oil

Response to Tom Fraser.

Tom, I did the procedure on April 1, 2008 (No Joke!) and followed the directions explicitly. Within an hour, the radiator was not over heating and the temperature gauge stayed rock solid a little less than 1/2 up the scale.

Prior to using it, my temperature gauge would spike and water and coolant would gush out of my radiator overflow tube.

It is now July 3, 2008 and everything is holding fine.

I'll have to find that video clip!

ok its working for now, but remember its not supposed to be a perm fix, only a temp. better be saving a little more money to get it fixed. id recommend getting another motor and having it rebuilt, and hope this doesnt blow again. keep us updated on it also. and another thing, how hard do you push the motor and what kind of condition is it in?
