How much does it cost, is there a money-back guarantee, etc?

As far as I'm concerned it's snake oil...

if you want to fix a cracked head then replace the head, don't pour aunt jemima's finest into the cooling system and expect some "magic" fix that saves you a grand. Btw, if you did it yourself, it wouldn't cost anywhere near that amount.....j/yard head, couple of gaskets, 6-pack...you do the math!!

I was following your other thread about your cooling system woes. It sounds like you may need to save up and have a reputable mechanic take a look at your car and determine exactly where your leak is occurring.

If it turns out that you've got cracked heads and / or blown head gaskets and you're mechanically inclined, replacing the heads and head gaskets would be a pretty good project to take on. If you don't have an experienced buddy to help, just save up your money and get the overheating problem fixed before it turns into a whole engine to replace.

Good luck!

another good idea would be to stop running it when it is even close to overheating. Guess its too late though.
