there are many dif products on market... some will work some will not... It all depends were the gasket blew and if the product can get hold of enough area to fill in.. in other words you got lucky... and if more tryed this before they went threw the thousands it cost to fix right... they might get lucky to...
Long long time ago... bestfriend had a 455 pont block... had small area worn down between 2 cly's.. He filled with jb weld .. put new gasket on.. and drove for over a year... Mind you this was 25 years ago.. he ran stage IV heads and a 2x4bbl crossram... and ran shit out of it every day... He got lucky... Happy you got lucky... and hope it makes it another 8 months... But IT WILL have to be fixed RIGHT oneday...so prepare for this... good luck ,,, Lucky :} |

Your leak was obviously NOT the usual supra BHG. That being a leak between the combustion chamber and a water jacket. This leak CANNOT be stopped by chemicals because super high pressure combustion gasses push out into the coolant passage.
Keep us informed.
