Wow you are an artist I will never see anything like that again. Have people made offers to buy it or for you to build one for them?

Re: Bar's head gasket the myth and engines damages

WHAT!? LOL! Im sorry but I cannot help but laugh at whoever uses anything like BARS leak or whatever. Snake oils are just that!

Your going to tell me that you are going to chance sticking a material made of binding fine particles in your cooling system, that has the potential to clog lines, radiators etc... AND cause flow issues that not only stop the leak but could potentially go through the warped or blown out head gasket passage and end up in a cylinder and your engine bearings and oil pump etc? After all. YOU DONT KNOW HOW BIG THE LEAK IS!!!

The ONLY reason I see chancing ANY of that crap is your stranded on the side of the road while being chased by JEEPERS CREEPERS and you literally have no time to have your eyeballs eaten by a half demon, half gargoyle underwear smelling creature that likes to kill police and eat their tongues!

but if you ever get in that situation... by all means!

I have no experience with this product and would never use it, but I agree with FRMULA88 when he suggests you learn to write properly. At least proof read your posts. I've read instructions written by Chinese companies that were easier to read.
Perhaps you could create it in Word and use their spell and grammar checker, and then paste it on this message board.

They have very distinct instuctions and most times they say do not use with coolant, could plug heater core, etc. So by buying a product like this you are saying "I dont care, i just need to get my car going" instead of saying well my car is broken, I do not have the money to fix it properly so I will go to work until I have the money and then fix it properly. They sell cigarettes no one makes you buy them!
So, you have a $1000.00 car, and it's got a small gaskit leak. Does it make sense to spend $2000.00 to have the head gaskit fixed "The right way", or try a $12.00 fix, and if it works, the $1000.00 car keeps rolling. Otherwise the car goes to Pick and pull, and I might get $100.00 for it. The moral of the story. Don't do this on a Lamborghini. But a $1000.00 junker, yeah, give it a try. What do you have to loose? $1000.00

Re: Bar's head gasket the myth and engines damages

Got baited into this ancient thread out of curiosity due to the topic as well as the very high number of views.


However, we're only given so many minutes on this Earth, and spending any more of them reading posts ITT doesn't seem like a good idea.

I think you are connected to Bar's and you came from other planet



One is only left to assume with all the errors in your complaint that, maybe your reading skills or reading comprehension skills lack as well. Making it possible that you were unable to follow the instructions correctly and the product didn't work due to a operators malfunction. Not a product malfunction or failure.
