yes it will, get it from the drug store, i forget what its called, but it works...i swear anything to it. seen it worked many many times...drain your system and make sure it has no antifrezze in it, than fill with pure water, pour about 1/4-1/2 of the bottle in the motor and bring the motor up to operating temp, let it idel for about 30 min, let cool drain wtaer and let it sit for at least 24 hrs..i gurantee it will work

Personally I don't feel right putting anything other than oil and antifreze in my car. If you car has a problem fix it, the right way the first time. Snake oil fixes will just cause more trouble for you later on.

I agree. Especially when it has the word "glass" in it.

Not to mention, they do make additives specifically for a bad head gasket or minor cracked heads taht goes into the cooling system. Problem is that it ends up clogging the cooling system!

If morso or you is willing to pony up the cash to replace the cooling system and possibe collateral damage to someones engine it does, then let them do it. Liquid glass doesn't make the claim. If it actually worked, why wouldn't they cash in on that?

"Hey, get crystal clear glass AND fix your leaky headgasket with one great product!"

Not saying there aren't products that are used for more than what their advertised/intended use is, but I wouldn't risk my $ on it.

Sounds like a snake oil sales pitch to me <shrug>
