REALLY well done. While a mechanic in a bottle is something that people have varying opinions on, and I get why I feel like in a pinch it isn't a bad option. If the vehicle is pretty much borked, to begin with, unless you sold it to someone willing to deal with that issue, it is not worth shelling out to fix it. I will say though that the idea of sodium silicate getting into the engine is a bit scary as that's what they use to seize engines up so. if I had to use that, I think I would go with something else just to be safe. The thing I do find interesting is despite that vehicle DRINKING coolant, there was no visible steam coming out the exhaust.

Quality over quantity. One great video now and again is better than a bunch of low quality videos. Good job. I enjoyed this one. In the end doing a proper head gasket job is the way to go if you want your car long term and gasket sealer is fine if you're gonna junk it soon.

I used Bars Radiator StopLeak, and it seemed to do okay. I had to add it twice, the first time it lasted about 8-9 months, and the second I actually ended up getting a different car after about 3 months, so i'm not sure exactly how long it would have held up.

chrisfix Could you use it multiple times? Like if it sealed for 2 years and then failed, could you do it again? I understand not in this case, given the warping block, but what about if the gasket had given out instead?

Man, the end of an era. I remember the video where you bought it, and then the video where you bought another jag, just to strip it for parts, and fix it up. Hope he finds a jag he likes as well as this one, Chris.
