Bar's LeaksHG-1 HEAD SEAL Blown Head Gasket Repair

UPDATE: It has now been nearly six months since I added the Bar's Leaks repair, and it is still working 100%. Additionally, the car had been leaking oil for several years, but the leak has stopped! (Not sure how that could be related, but it doesn't seem like a coincidence to me.) In short, I'm still totally overjoyed and amazed by how this stuff works!My 2001 Pontiac Grand Am sports coupe -- which I love -- was diagnosed with a blown head gasket. Symptoms included white smoke from exhaust and sometimes from under hood, coolant had to be added daily; ran very rough ("shaky") for the first few minutes of driving; even when warmed up, the heater blew cool air for a period of time; gas consumption high. Yet, the car NEVER OVERHEATED.Desperate to avoid costly repairs, I began researching "fixes" and finally settled on the Bar's Head Seal Blown Head Gasket Repair. It was easy to perform the process, and by the second day the difference was like night and day!! I did have to top off the coolant that one day (but not since); the car ran smooth, heater worked fine (no cool air), no white smoke; coolant remains full; fuel consumption seems to be lower.I'm a bit superstitious, so I'm afraid to speak too soon and jinx it, but it has been more than two weeks since doing the Bar's fix and all is great! Another plus: the Bar's customer support is outstanding!! Very knowledgeable and reassuring. If you're skeptical about trying the product, I would suggest calling them first.

Listen up everyone! Stop scrolling and read this!!! My trailblazer was acting like I had a blown head gasket or cracked head! Its a 2003 with well over 260k miles on her! Other than this shes done me so well. One morning I was on my way to the doctor's. I looked down at my gauges and my oil bottomed out the pressure in it. I was blowing white smoke out the back and then it stalled so I pulled over sat there a minute restarted it and the oil gauge went up so I got to the nearest store checked my oil my oil was low so I put oil in it It was fine for a little bit then it kept doing the same thing. So I went and got an opinion on what could be wrong and they had told me cracked head or head gaskets. I don't have $7,000 to pay to get it fixed when my truck is worth at top end $3,000. So I decided to do research and I came across this b a r s all the reviews I read we're good sorry I figured out I'll buy it give it a try. I got this in the mail read the directions did it to a t It took about three running cycles and my oil's been keeping pressure I haven't had any white smoke blowing out the back. This is the best stuff I have ever purchased for in my truck that actually worked Do not hesitate to buy this trust me it'll save you thousands of dollars whoever came up with this product I hope they're making bank because they're saving me bank.

It really works!My 2GR-FE engine was overheating after about ten minutes from cold start, and I was losing coolant constantly. A combustion?leak test confirmed a blown head gasket. Repairing it would require pulling the engine—far too expensive for my car—so I tried this as a last resort, and the results have been fantastic. The coolant temperature returned to normal, and I’ve driven it for about a month with no issues. I still see a bit of coolant loss, but I’m not complaining—at least my car is back on the road!I'll update after one year or 2 years. I'll be grateful even if it can only last one year.

I talked to a Bar's leak tech rep before using this and followed his recommendation to flush the cooling system completely before adding half a bottle to my 2.5L 2006 Subaru forester engine which had bubbles in the cooling reservoir, was loosing antifreeze, and obviously had a blown head gasket. It was not overheating after their recommended test of 20 minutes, in fact it would take three for four hours before it lost enough antifreeze to overheat. I added the HG-1 per his recommendation and followed the directions to a tee. It initially cleared up the white smoke coming from the tail pipe but didn't stop the bubbles in the reservoir or loss of antifreeze. After about a week, I spoke to another tech rep who recommended that I drain the cooling system, refill with a second application of Bar's Leak HG-1 and follow the instructions again which I did. I've been driving it for about a month now and I still have the problem along with a lot of gray gunk in my cooling system. I called a Bar's leak tech rep again (April 2020) and he did not have any other ideas except to say that it doesn't work on all engines but that they would send me my money back or send me another bottle of HG-1. the only hitch was that I needed to get a statement from a repair shop that the car still needed a head gasket replacement. This is an example of a worthless warranty. If I take it to a shop it will cost me at least $100 to get such a statement and I only paid about $34 for the HG-1. The car is old enough that putting $2K or $3K into a head gasket replacement is not worth it so I am just going to live with the problem and fill up the radiator when it needs it. Based on my experience, don't count on this product to fix your head gasket problem despite all the positive reviews out there. I thought I did my homework by reading these but was totally misled. This is not the cure that is 'guaranteed' on the box cover. You will just waste your money.
