I've never heard of that, i just googled it and there's a YouTube thing, i would imagine it to be a bit like Radweld, does the job but eventually it will need doing properly.

May work temporarily but I doubt it due to the pressure involved.

what car is it....................dont tell me a Rover?

Temporary fix only. IF the head gasket is "starting to go" then get it sorted before a costly fix becomes a very expensive one. Just pulling the heads, cleaining it up and re-fitting a head gasket isn't too bad. Having to skin a warped head/replace it/scrap the engine is VERY expensive!

it works just long enough to get your car sold...or part ex'd

if your going to keep it, then sort the head out now and its a lot easier job than when you've blocked it up with carp.

do you do short trips in this car by anychance. i say this because, often people confuse a start of a head leak with built up condensation causing mayo in the oil filler cap because the car isnt run to temp often.

the likes of K-Seal is very temporary. steel seal is better, expensive but reviews are very good with a free replacement bottle if it doesnt work first time round.

Steel seal is the one, will fix long enough to get rid.

That's the weak spot on the 106 petrols, steel seal may fix it for a while, usually needs to drain the antifreeze, then refill, so try to catch it, otherwise that's another £15.
Make sure it bleeds ok when you refill it after.
