I don't believe in using "goop" in the hope of covering up a problem.

I can appreciate the fact that someone might want to save money. And I can appreciate that it may not be convenient to accomplish the real repair now.

But when I make a repair, I venture to make a definitive repair. And for something as serious as a head gasket leak, I do not believe that that repair should be accomplished with a can of mystery chemicals.

I have seen aluminum heads which have suffered from burning antifreeze, and it is not a pretty sight.

You may be very lucky and accomplish a temporary fix with this material.

I'm just not convinced of it's validity.

Thank you for asking for a clarification.
