Get the heavy duty bars if your gonna use it, put it in cold run it for 20 ish miles then replace your coolant, it works if you know what to buy, which is the heavy duty stuff.

Feisty, everyone knows the branches or our military are one big happy family. We only fight among ourselves (like brothers) when the is no common enemy. But, when there is, then we all turn and go as one.

I dont know why you guys are bashing on Bar's Leak...

Use that or the Prestone stuff... the liquid that looks like it has Rabbit turds in it...

Because its not the proper way to fix the problem. You can stop a leak with the proper punt of bubble g and duct tape as well. Doesn't mean you should IMO.
