    Anyone tried using it already as a temporary fix for leaks in head gasket?

    It could be a temporary fix but it is a case to case basis. Kapag masyado ng malaki ang butas, I doubt if it will work

    It will work if the damage isn't that extensive..

    Before anyone jumps to conclusion or guess, first identify what is leaking. Is it fluid or gas? If it is fluid, is it antifreeze/coolant, fuel or lube oil?

    Ditto ... just had "engine" leak repaired ... went to 2 shops who diagnosed it as a front wheel bearing / gasket leak and repair would cost about 2000++ ... went to dealer and diagnosis was to tighten power steering hose ... cost to repair only 420.00 ...

    If head gasket leak is the main culprit (proven, tested, confirmed), then the only fix for that is a new head gasket.

    if you're stuck somewhere in the boondocks, it may work but I'd rate that possibility to a slim 10% over a 100.

    i haven't tried it.
    my concern is, it might block the coolant passages, resulting in overheating, localized or generalized.
    who has tried it here?

    DON'T use it !!! There are no shortcut remedies for such problems. Go find a competent shop and have them replace the head gasket.

    as others suggested if it's indeed headgasket issue get it fixed. it's not that hard to change that.

    As a temporary fix, I think it would work.
    If you decide to try, please let us know the result (grin)
