ive never tried it mate but doing the head gasket is not that dear, about 20 pound for the gaskets, about 15 for head bolts. and just need to get clean oil and filter which is about 20 pound all in.

your looking somewhere between £50-£80 for parts if you are to do it properly.

As for the stuff your on about I havent personally used it but my uncle used it on one of his cars and it worked fine he had the car for 12 months with it in before he sold it aswel.
