Bars Leaks?

Hey guys, just wanted to see if any of you had any experiences with these products. Yeah I know the right way to fix is something is to physically fix it, but I just did a head gasket on this car, and am not looking to re-do it. Rather just sell the car instead. Ok so, I have a bit of coolant coming out of where the block and cylinder head meet, in one spot, maybe smaller then a needle hole. An experienced shop owner recommended it to me. Says he always had good experience with it and used it on his wifes car and customers with good results. It could very well clog up my heater core and maybe some other places, but its a risk Im willing to take, I guess. My other option is to poxy it from the outside somehow, but that would involve some work to get in there and who knows if that would last or even work well. Damn liquid always finds a way out. Check out the link. Thanks.

I don't have any personal experience, but I do know that many shop owners routinely added it every time they did a flush/fill as a preventative.

You might email them about clogging heater core. I would be interested in their response.
