This product fix my head gasket issue, engine shudder, antifreeze smoke out of the tail pipe, check engine light and antifreeze leak. It did take til day 3 for the product to work completely. But it produced immediate results. Completely satisfied
I just used it on my 67 mustang and it slowed the smoke but not completely. Followed the steps - added half the bottle, didn’t drain the coolant though- it said it was ok with our draining. I’m on day 2 with a little smoke. Have high hopes now that you said it took 3 days or so. Thanks for sharing your experience
I used this on my 2003 mercury sable, it was loosing coolant from the timing chain cover gasket, it was pouring out, right away it slowed it down, added more and it completely stopped leaking, thank you so much!!!
I used half a bottle and followed every single instruction to the exact detail as well as researched every single piece of into on this stuff and I used this on my 2003 Honda Element with 185,000 miles on it and almost immediately went on an 800 mile drive moving across states to California and I gotta say, I'm freaking impressed. I was so worried my car was gonna take a crap along the way and I couldn't wait months for a shop to get it fixed for an absolute ripoff, so I gave this a shot. It fixed all of my problems. No more misfiring on startup, no more missing coolant, no white steam coming out of my exhaust. Been putting around hilly SoCal now for about two weeks with another 800 miles on her and so far only one issue: the heater core DEFINITELY clogged up. Since then I get cold spots on some of the vents. At the end of the day though hey... I'd rather have a running car than some heat. I'll update as I go on 5/17/22 - About 2000 miles deep into the head gasket sealer and I'm now leaking coolant from the side of the engine. I suspect it's the same leak I noticed soon after I added the stuff because it's in the same area. No problems of overheating... yet. I suspect it's from the water pump. Feeling like I just traded problems LOL. Still zero misfires however, no white smoke, no air in the system. I'll get it checked to confirm my suspicions today
7/20/22 - got rid of the car. Too many issues, and the water pump definitely was leaking after I put the stuff in. To be fair, the Honda had a lot of miles on it and I'm sure there was no cooling system service on it at any point before I had it. Maybe I just wasn't a good candidate, it just didn't end up working in my case. Car was FUBAR
This stuff really works. It did everything it said it would. It stopped the smoke from my tailpipe , stop my radiator from loosing fluids, my vehicle no longer runs hot and it stopped the ruff idling. Buy the expensive one and follow the instructions. Run you vehicle for 15 minutes with heater on and if it doesn’t overheat, then you can use it ,Good luck 😎
Worked for me too. Only problem that wasn’t happening before is my 2016 Chevy sonic LT low oil pressure light came on and checked the oil it was over by like 2 quarts so I did a drain and fill sicne I just did an oil change and the light is still going off going to look into the oil pump and pressure switches next
Hi there and happy new year! Thank you for such and great and clear cut video! Very easy to follow. I have a question for you the coolant need be drained from reservoir? In my case I have a bit of water in the reservoir, should I run it until it over heats and spills out all the water? Or is it ok to put the Bars leaks even when there is still coolant/water in the reservoir?
I am glad you like the video! I would drain the coolant tank by disconnecting the hose on the tank. Hook the hose back up and put in the Bars and run it. Let us know how it goes for you! Happy New Years!
It works wonders , my jeep grand Cherokee Laredo symptoms were overheating and bubbles in the water reservoir and after applying bars head gasket sealer it stopped over heating.
I purchased this BlueDevil 00209 Pour-N-Go Head Gasket Sealer, 473-mL and it did not work for me on my Dodge Grand Caravan 2007 with 207K Km on it - after about one week, the issue persists. Then I purchased the Rislone Head Seal Blown Head Gasket Repair, 1-L, and used only 600 grams, which worked for me - after 3 days it stopped leaking.
Wish me luck. Got a 2012 kia that has bubbles in the reservoir hope this helps. It does heat upbat a traffic light. September 28 2023. Ill update see what happens inly used half a bottle.
Hi, thank you so much for the video, i did same and the instruction was written at the back of bottle but it was written at the end drain the product from the radiator and leave it for 12-24 hours and then use the car. i did but still i have less leakage in gasket. kindly instruct me should i leave product inside the system or drain it. if i leave it inside the system then for howlong? thank you
I have a 2013 Nissan Maxima. Do I use a whole or half bottle? Also, should I do it only after the car sitting all nite or I can let it sit for a few hours or so. I’m not sure if my reservoir is pressurized so I’m going to put in the the radiator. Thanks for the help in advance
I would think full bottle. But they have instructions on how much to use on the side of the bottle. Depending on the size of the coolant system. I don't think you will need to wait all night. I believe the biggest thing with the engine heat is to get the thermostat to open and allow the product through the motor. Anyone else with input on this one?
This didn't work good for my 05 equinox. Even though I follow directions to the T. I still have bubbles coming through reservoir even after bleeding the system. And its still moving to half way mark even if motor is cold. I have no oil and water mix and hardly no white smoke just a small mist. Should I use another quart and see what happens

@@WiPartyTv Hi Just wanted to let you know. Because of your video I tried it on my truck. it worked and it just passed California smog check, so I am very happy thanks for putting your video up.
So i put it in the pressurized cap? Because my reservoir isnt pressurized in my subaru. But it has a pressure csp to my radiator just left of the opening to the reservoir
I would think this work as long as you can get the right amount of product in. Might want to double check with BAR's directly just to make sure. Phone: 855-797-7975
It's say on the bottle not to use anterfrezz with that stuff the bottle say not compatible with anterfrezz that's why it didn't work u should have flushout all the coolant first
I just had my oil changes yesterday and the oil filter was full of water. I drove it home and then I shut the engine off and the upper part of the engine hissed for a while. The oil looks clean right now. It's a 2009 Chrysler Aspen with the 4.7 engine in it. Should I try it? It's Sunday so I'll call my mechanic tomorrow to see what he thinks.
If you have that much coolant in your oil filter. I am not sure this is the best option. I would talk with your mechanic or call Bars first. My understanding is you don't want allot of this product in your oil system. Needs to seal from the cooling side.
I'd say go for it then as soon as it appears to have sealed then change your oil a couple of times with something cheap like supertech to make sure you get it all out
@@gabrielq.906 I may do that. Right now I'm just going to drive it and around 1,500 miles then I'll pull the oil filter and see if it has water in it. I only use the vehicle in nice weather to haul a small trailer, and very seldom use it in the rain. I did after the last oil change for a couple week while my main car was in the shop, so I did drive it in the rain a number of times. I don't think it was antifreeze. It did freeze on me and was not frothy when I saw it. I still think it was rain water. The last oil change was when my mechanic put on a new oil pan. As soon as the weather gets better (in the 20's here) I'll look at it.
What if your car will not crank? What can I do then? It ran a little hot & was empty in water overflow. I put water in it but it had already blew white smoke from the tail pipe & cut off.. hasn't crunck since then. Any advice??
Did you check the battery? Make sure you have power. If it doesn't even click than I would double check the starter. Depending on how hot the motor was there is a possibility the motor is seized. I hope that's not the case for you.
So Far it's working on our truck. We have 2006 1500 dodge ram laramie. When we noticed the signal went very hot, proceed to drive using water, we noticed the radiator leaks..few more drive after few weeks the radiator is leaking to the point where long travel is now impossible. we constantly add water to it... when the new radiator arrived, we installed it, we emptied the engine oil too and noticed the sludged and realized how stupid and irresponsible we were for ignoring the oil change for a while and we know this very dirty oil with sludge caused the problem and probably busted the engine's head gasket for driving it with that oil condition.. anyway, we also noticed that the coolant started to mixed with engine oil.. another clear indication of busted head gasket.. so after changing the radiator, emptied the oil whole night and adding new one, we added the this head seal following the instructions.. the most expensive of this brand. let it whole night.. and run it a little bit in the morning.. then our battery started to act up by coincidence due to solar flair.. a day later we once again flushed the oil to wash it the second time. we then replaced the battery with a new one and since then 3days later the truck is working fine... cross fingers! no check on engine and no leaks. new radiator, clean oil, new alternator... we hope this works.
I have heard mixed reviews on this. I would have to believe there is always a possibility. I would contact Bar's direct and see if they have had any issues with that motor in the past.
Dodge cars/ trucks are notorious for blowing head gaskets ...period.... ive never owned one dodge that I didnt have problems with, including the charger I have now
I do not believe so. Might be a good question to ask on the website. I suppose it all depends on how bad the leak was and were it was. Personally I would flush and not put it in and watch for all signs of leaks again. Any signs of a leak add a new bottle. Hopefully other will chime in with ideas here. :)
@@mediaone7538 I wish I had a leaking car to experiment haha. Using first bottle with clean coolant. Then empty everything out and put water in. After that, I will use the head gasket tester kit to see if the dye liquid changing color ;)
What you are doing is patching holes in the system. You do not keep putting it in if the problem is already fixed. If you patched a bicycle tube and fixed it then you decide to let the air out and decide to fill it with air again would you rip off the bicycle patch first and put on a new one? No.
I tried this stuff 2x & it didnt work but maybe because i mightve done it wrong all along. I was recently informed that i probably shouldve put it in my upper rad hose instead of my overflow tank. That maybe the reason why my car keeps overheating after driving it for about 2 miles.
@@mediaone7538 It depends on whether you have a simple non-pressurized coolant reservoir or not. If it is non-pressurized, putting it in the reservoir will NOT work as it won’t make it into the radiator & on to the engine. Cars with pressurized reservoirs are different & it is the only way to get coolant in the radiator. Usually cars like this don’t have a cap on the actual radiator & only access point to add coolant is the pressurized reservoir.
I’m guessing you have non-pressurized coolant reservoir & no, it will not work putting it in there as it won’t make it to the engine immediately & at high concentration. Typically if you have a radiator cap & only thing that attaches coolant reservoir to radiator is a small hose, it is a non-pressurized reservoir. For non-pressurized, you must put it directly into the radiator. No wonder it did not work for you!😂
I have never heard of this messing up the motor later on. I would guess if you have to go in for a rebuild it probably would require a little more cleaning? Any motor builder with experience in this?
No. Radiator has to have correct amount of fluid minus a bottle of this stuff. If it's gonna over flow then pump it out little bit so you can pour it in . So , first you flush out all the old antifreeze fluid. Empty the radiator. Then pour that bottle and top off with distilled water or garden hose water to be correct coolant amount like you can fill till the "neck" of the radiator cap. Then put a cap on . After that, Follow the procedure on instructions . Good luck
I'm fidel and I need some help. I have a Buick lacrosse 2012 v6 3.6 and I have white smoke coming out my exhaust and my car is not overheating but I have bad performance with my engine.
@@fidellopez2620 Might be best to take it in somewhere to double check. If you are not loosing any antifreeze. That would make me think it probably not a head gasket.
Bro, I am about to flush and change my coolant. I'm using Prestone antifreeze coolant. Can I use this after changing my coolant or should I do this before I change my coolant? Thanks a lot bro!
@@michaelwoods3799 I would think it would not be a problem. Maybe an issue if your heater core is blocked. AC should not affect it. Anyone else with thoughts on this one?
@@WiPartyTv The main reason you run the heater is so the heater control valve doesn’t get sealed shut by the sealant. When your heat is off, the valve is closed & coolant does not circulate through your heater core. You do not want this valve to seal shut or you will have no heat until you replace this valve.
I would believe it would have no effect. As your heater is just antifreeze running through a heater core. So no heat core.... no problem. The product will just run through your cooling system.
I would think this would work with the right amount of product. Might be best to call Bars direct. The only thing I can think of that might be an issue with this is the pressure and rpm's a motorcycle engine produces?
How safe is it to use this? I’m seeing good & bad reviews. People talking about jacking up their engine & car no longer starting. I want to try this so car is good until I pay it off! Newer cars=plastic built easy breaking cars!
@@nomakulit If your coolant is all out which is likely if it overheated and blew a gasket, just pour it in. If not probably flush out the rest so it's empty. The product will work better on no coolant in the system. Once you pour the bottle in, top off the coolant in there and the overflow tank as well.
Change oil afterwards, might get some product in your oil and it will damage barrings etc. because there is 'glass' in it which will grind...(liquid glass).
Only when the AC is on? Not sure about that. Loosing antifreeze or seeing white smoke from exhaust? WHITE SMOKE COMING FROM THE TAILPIPE WATER LEAKING FROM THE TAILPIPE BUBBLING IN THE RADIATOR AND COOLANT RESERVOIR MILKY WHITE COLORATION IN THE OIL ENGINE OVERHEATING
Thanks for replying 🙂 Nothing of what you mentioned Just overheating when ac is on Installed new radiator but still Water pump checked by mechanic after removing thermostat he said it works very well 👍 But I forgot to tell that I've changed ac compressor clutch before, maybe something 🤔 belongs to it?
@@mohammedsadoon2877 I am not sure that you have a head gasket problem than. I would double check the water pump and watch your antifreeze levels closely.
@@WiPartyTv the coolant is hot, I think too hot, the radiator hoes is collapsed when cold and firm and bloated when hot. I had the coolant system flushed and and it got worse. I have not tested for CO2 in the coolant yet, but may soon, if the Gasket fix liquid Aluminum fails to fix it. I put it in last night and we will see in a dat or two. Also I keep adding coolant and it disappears, but with no puddle.
@@WiPartyTv my oil is fine, not white or milky at all. There is a high, very high pitched noise that I think is gas escaping from the overflow reservoir. 2005 Ford Escape with 210k hard miles.
To be honest I am not sure on that one. My gut feel is this might not be your answer. I would do more digging into this before adding the stop leak. Especially if you don't have any other signs of a head gasket leak. The high pitch noise could be something as simple as a bad vacuum leak. Does anyone else with ideas for this?
@@WiPartyTv, how can I check for a vacuum leak? The stop Leak is already in. It won’t do any harm, that it wouldn’t do if there was defiantly a gasket leak.
I have a 06 box truck with the V 10 Ford with 190,000 miles on. No smoke, no leaks but I’m losing coolant somewhere. It idles rough at first start up and then run smooth after that. I was told I may have a blown head gasket or alike. It’s my work truck. It’s my bread and butter. I drive it easy. Thinking of trying this stuff or go truck shopping. Should I give it a shot?
@@WiPartyTv, Shop did them for me and they said they looked terrible. One was no worse than the other. The catalytic converter has some large holes drilled into it from the previous owner and the shop thinks the ugly plugs are the result of that. It runs good and it doesn’t leak anything. I just have to add about a half gallon a week antifreeze. What can I say, the truck was cheap. Thanks man!!
I would get an oil change first. Run the engine for a while and check the oil again. If the oil level increases you probably have a serious leak that is not good for this product. If the sealant gets into your oil system. It will be a bad day. I would contact Bars to see what they suggest for your situation.
Can someone help me please. I have head gasket sealant in my radiator, I’ve been topping the radiator up every second day with about a teaspoon full. I have no more sealant, do I buy another bottle or do I now top it up with water?
WiPartyTv thanks for replying. I should have mentioned that I’m in Australia. The sealant I used isn’t BARS, I figured they all did the same, maybe not? I’ll ask my mechanic, he’s the one who put the sealant in, as I said, it wasn’t BARS, it come in a bright green plastic container and is used by the military , that’s all I know, lol.
@@ejgarden346 I would ask him for the product info and see if you can contact the manufacturer. MY guess is you might need to take another shot with another bottle. Or put a new head gasket in and see what's happening inside the motor. :(
@@brianradtke3700 so far still smells like coolant. It’s been a few hours since. Ran the car about 20 mins. Coolant levels didn’t drop. I’ll check in the morning
@@broadbunny5753 it’s working &&holding up really good. it’s been 2 weeks I drive about 25-30 miles to work back and forth at highway speeds with ac full blast too. No misfires. No smoke. Coolant levels remain the same. Lol I was skeptical but it really work’s. I did about 3/4 of the bottle I wasn’t sure how big my system is autozone has the big bottle for $45 if it “doesn’t work” you can also get a refund for it 😏 so you can fix it for “free” 😂 the coolant does dark gray but it’s holding up.

I'm going to try this I'm hoping it's going to work I have a 2001 Mercury Villager with over 210,000 Mi on it I can't afford to buy a new vehicle right now so I'm hoping that this will work so I can get the money to get a new one added note I just put a new alternator on it I was coming home from the garage and it quit blowing heat and the temperature hand went up . I went straight home and haven't drove it since I had somebody look at it and they said it had a blown head gasket
I tried this yesterday and so far it is working. I only drove it about 2 miles because of the weather. Was bad and today we got hit with snow and ice. I did start it up again today Feb 2 nd. No white smoke
Update this worked !! No leaks and even took the van out of town. Luckily no water in the oil and i did get it changed . Thanks for this video .I would reccomend this product
I guess that's hard to say. If the heater core is clogged up and not allowing everything through. That could be a problem. Any one else with thoughts on this?
@@WiPartyTvdo I add the sealant first and then after 15 minutes of the engine running add the coolant or do I fill it up with the sealant then right after overflow with coolant???
Follow the directions. It will let you know how much you should use. I believe fill it up and than run it for 15 min. I hope that helps.@@AntonioHernandez-ud5sz
I definitely didn't have that issue. My truck is still running great. No heater core issues. Did you have problems? Did you tear the motor down and find issues?

This company has different type pf stop leak Buy the type that requires u to remove all antifreeze with the procedure below - completely different from yours 1. flush your radiator to remove ALL antifreeze coolant and contaminates from your radiator for it devrades the bonding process so u- do a full radiator flush until water runs clean 2.mix the product with it with 3 quarts of luke warm water before adding , not recommend this be done in cold climate below or near freezing - if so must be done indoors 3. There should be NO coolant in the radiator Your suppose to top it off with only pure water 4. The intervals of engine running ( until normal Temp ) when the thermostat opens but be precise depending on the leak engine and engine size the it must be running idle at a certain RPM eg 1200 RPM stop timeFor cooling is at ( 45 mins to 1 hour+ ) u can tell when you dont have any pressure gushing out of the reservoir and it is not hot If you follow the directions to the T overheating , gas fumes in your radiator and bubbling usually goes awAy 2 to 3 tries meaning the product sealed the leak This is your cue your done , flush your radiator completely to remove all the rest of the product that remains in your coolant for if left in there it will clogged your engine - remove ALL of the product and water by flushing the radiator, - flush until water runs clear - Let it drip dry - DO NOT add water or coolant for 12 to 24 hours - After it completely dries out - Add coolant and water Also recommend doing an oil change … After this incase the product seeped its way into the engine block oil side
Not necessarily. There are plenty of snake oil products out there, but they usually have a very short warranty period. This product has a lifetime warranty with money back or product replacement.
Maybe you should have poured it over the headlights if that is what you were trying to fix. If your head gasket is bad try pouring it in with the oil. But for headlights you might want to try a little on a rag and buff the headlights till they are clean.

It's say on the bottle not to use anterfrezz with that stuff the bottle say not compatible with anterfrezz that's why it didn't work u should have flushout all the coolant first
It worked for me
Still going strong?
Great job
Thank you!
I just had my oil changes yesterday and the oil filter was full of water. I drove it home and then I shut the engine off and the upper part of the engine hissed for a while. The oil looks clean right now. It's a 2009 Chrysler Aspen with the 4.7 engine in it. Should I try it? It's Sunday so I'll call my mechanic tomorrow to see what he thinks.
If you have that much coolant in your oil filter. I am not sure this is the best option. I would talk with your mechanic or call Bars first. My understanding is you don't want allot of this product in your oil system. Needs to seal from the cooling side.
@@WiPartyTv I will be checking with my mechanic and be calling Bars Leak tomorrow. I would be putting in the coolant and not in the oil. Thanks
I'd say go for it then as soon as it appears to have sealed then change your oil a couple of times with something cheap like supertech to make sure you get it all out
@@gabrielq.906 I may do that. Right now I'm just going to drive it and around 1,500 miles then I'll pull the oil filter and see if it has water in it. I only use the vehicle in nice weather to haul a small trailer, and very seldom use it in the rain. I did after the last oil change for a couple week while my main car was in the shop, so I did drive it in the rain a number of times. I don't think it was antifreeze. It did freeze on me and was not frothy when I saw it. I still think it was rain water. The last oil change was when my mechanic put on a new oil pan. As soon as the weather gets better (in the 20's here) I'll look at it.
it works if head gasket leak after overheating?
Depends where its leaking
I have a very small 1.6 4 cylinder.. how much should I put in it?
It has amounts you need to use on the packaging.
What if your car will not crank? What can I do then? It ran a little hot & was empty in water overflow. I put water in it but it had already blew white smoke from the tail pipe & cut off.. hasn't crunck since then. Any advice??
Did you check the battery? Make sure you have power. If it doesn't even click than I would double check the starter. Depending on how hot the motor was there is a possibility the motor is seized. I hope that's not the case for you.
When you start it back up the 2nd time does the hot air need to be blowing as well or just let it run?
I think you can just let it run. Not sure the blower will have much effect. Maybe to cool things down a few degrees.
So Far it's working on our truck. We have 2006 1500 dodge ram laramie. When we noticed the signal went very hot, proceed to drive using water, we noticed the radiator leaks..few more drive after few weeks the radiator is leaking to the point where long travel is now impossible. we constantly add water to it... when the new radiator arrived, we installed it, we emptied the engine oil too and noticed the sludged and realized how stupid and irresponsible we were for ignoring the oil change for a while and we know this very dirty oil with sludge caused the problem and probably busted the engine's head gasket for driving it with that oil condition.. anyway, we also noticed that the coolant started to mixed with engine oil.. another clear indication of busted head gasket.. so after changing the radiator, emptied the oil whole night and adding new one, we added the this head seal following the instructions.. the most expensive of this brand. let it whole night.. and run it a little bit in the morning.. then our battery started to act up by coincidence due to solar flair.. a day later we once again flushed the oil to wash it the second time. we then replaced the battery with a new one and since then 3days later the truck is working fine... cross fingers! no check on engine and no leaks. new radiator, clean oil, new alternator... we hope this works.
Can this stuff clog a heater core? I have a Dodge Nitro. They are notorious for clogged heater cores.
I have heard mixed reviews on this. I would have to believe there is always a possibility. I would contact Bar's direct and see if they have had any issues with that motor in the past.
I have the same car a nitro and I’m considering using this product because of smoke coming from my exhaust
Dodge cars/ trucks are notorious for blowing head gaskets ...period.... ive never owned one dodge that I didnt have problems with, including the charger I have now
Will it not clog thin radiator passages?
Did the CEL turn off?
Do this work on 04 camry
I was told that after you do all of that. In the next few days to change the oil.
Should you drain the coolant before using bars?
No you don't have to drain the coolant.
Hi mr what about if my heater is not working, the seal will continue working?
That is another problem.
So in the future will I need to pour another bottle if I am doing a coolant change ?
I do not believe so. Might be a good question to ask on the website. I suppose it all depends on how bad the leak was and were it was. Personally I would flush and not put it in and watch for all signs of leaks again. Any signs of a leak add a new bottle. Hopefully other will chime in with ideas here. :)
@@mediaone7538 I wish I had a leaking car to experiment haha. Using first bottle with clean coolant. Then empty everything out and put water in. After that, I will use the head gasket tester kit to see if the dye liquid changing color ;)
I would leave the product in and run it for a while before flushing.
@@mediaone7538 if your coolant is clean then yes lala. Haborfreight tool has Peak coolant for $8.50. Very nice.
What you are doing is patching holes in the system. You do not keep putting it in if the problem is already fixed. If you patched a bicycle tube and fixed it then you decide to let the air out and decide to fill it with air again would you rip off the bicycle patch first and put on a new one? No.
Sounds Good after you put that stuff in this a V8 engine you could put a duall exhaust pipeline on it
Im afraid it will clog the thermostat, heater fore or radiator
I tried this stuff 2x & it didnt work but maybe because i mightve done it wrong all along. I was recently informed that i probably shouldve put it in my upper rad hose instead of my overflow tank. That maybe the reason why my car keeps overheating after driving it for about 2 miles.
You should be able to put it in overflow tank.
You have a different problem in the overheat.
@@mediaone7538 It depends on whether you have a simple non-pressurized coolant reservoir or not. If it is non-pressurized, putting it in the reservoir will NOT work as it won’t make it into the radiator & on to the engine. Cars with pressurized reservoirs are different & it is the only way to get coolant in the radiator. Usually cars like this don’t have a cap on the actual radiator & only access point to add coolant is the pressurized reservoir.
I’m guessing you have non-pressurized coolant reservoir & no, it will not work putting it in there as it won’t make it to the engine immediately & at high concentration. Typically if you have a radiator cap & only thing that attaches coolant reservoir to radiator is a small hose, it is a non-pressurized reservoir. For non-pressurized, you must put it directly into the radiator. No wonder it did not work for you!😂
Dear All, Did it works to remove the check engine light as well?
That you might have to do yourself. Just disconnect the battery and re connected it it will clear the code
Still got it? Still workin?
Does anyone know if it will mess up the engine later on?
I have never heard of this messing up the motor later on. I would guess if you have to go in for a rebuild it probably would require a little more cleaning? Any motor builder with experience in this?
Wait do i need to empty the coolant system first or just pour that in with it?
Dependable on how your oil looks? Milky looking oil?
@@WiPartyTv it looks grayish almost
@@twontwon1827 If your oil is that gray. I would contact Bar's and talk to them. If the oil is full of antifreeze. This might not be your answer.
@@WiPartyTv ok thank you
@@WiPartyTv it says it helps for head gasket problems with milk oil also (on back of the box)
Will this work on a 2015 chevy cruze. 1.4 engine ?
It should. Make sure you put in the recommend amount for your motor size
@@mediaone7538 do this work on 04 camry and do I need to take out thermostat
@@glyles3872 Yes. Should work make sure you put in the amount recommend on the box. No you don't need to remove thermostat
novemember 10th 2022
i'm applying it right now
Clogged my heater, thermostat and I think the water pump!!
Did you take it all apart? Any picture's of the clogging in the water pump?
If you have coolant in oil and oil in in coolant reservoir do you need to change both before adding this stuff?
That’s what I’m wondering as well. Saw another video where the guy put it in and changed his oil after.
@@RallEeyeRedact id think you'd do it before. My 2000 f-150 is in to bad of shape. Going to put a crate motor in it.
when you add it to the radiator. does the radiator have to be empty?
No. Radiator has to have correct amount of fluid minus a bottle of this stuff. If it's gonna over flow then pump it out little bit so you can pour it in . So , first you flush out all the old antifreeze fluid. Empty the radiator. Then pour that bottle and top off with distilled water or garden hose water to be correct coolant amount like you can fill till the "neck" of the radiator cap. Then put a cap on . After that, Follow the procedure on instructions . Good luck
@@TomFalcon-kw3rg thank you!
I'm fidel and I need some help. I have a Buick lacrosse 2012 v6 3.6 and I have white smoke coming out my exhaust and my car is not overheating but I have bad performance with my engine.
Sounds like a head gasket. Have you looked at your coolant? Are you loosing antifreeze? Have you checked the oil cap for white sludge?
@@mediaone7538 antifreeze is good the only thing I see is that the oil look burnt
@@fidellopez2620 Might be best to take it in somewhere to double check. If you are not loosing any antifreeze. That would make me think it probably not a head gasket.
@@WiPartyTv thanks for your help!!
Is it still holding up well?
So far so go!
Bro, I am about to flush and change my coolant. I'm using Prestone antifreeze coolant. Can I use this after changing my coolant or should I do this before I change my coolant? Thanks a lot bro!
@@nomakulit My understanding is to use this after. Flush it first then add the Bars.
Do you change oil before or after using the bars leak?
I would change before. They want you to keep the product in for a while.
@@WiPartyTv hey what if i don't have heater or ac will it still work
@@michaelwoods3799 I would think it would not be a problem. Maybe an issue if your heater core is blocked. AC should not affect it. Anyone else with thoughts on this one?
@@WiPartyTv The main reason you run the heater is so the heater control valve doesn’t get sealed shut by the sealant. When your heat is off, the valve is closed & coolant does not circulate through your heater core. You do not want this valve to seal shut or you will have no heat until you replace this valve.
What if your car is no heater. It this require heater to function?
I would believe it would have no effect. As your heater is just antifreeze running through a heater core. So no heat core.... no problem. The product will just run through your cooling system.
ANYONE CAN TELL ME THAT THIS IS ALSO AWESOME FOR MOTORCYCLE ENGINES ? LIKE HONDA CBF 1000
I would think this would work with the right amount of product. Might be best to call Bars direct. The only thing I can think of that might be an issue with this is the pressure and rpm's a motorcycle engine produces?
Probably just a quarter of the bottle.
How safe is it to use this? I’m seeing good & bad reviews. People talking about jacking up their engine & car no longer starting. I want to try this so car is good until I pay it off! Newer cars=plastic built easy breaking cars!
Safe if you follow directions. :)
It is non clogging. Most gasket products state that to assure you that’s what they mean. It will not “Jack Up” your engine.
Chances are those people are stupid. It’s not made to go in your wiper fluid reservoir.
What if you have oil in your antifreeze before you pour this into your reservoir? Should I change the oil first?
Yes make sure you don’t turn on the car after your oil change and follow this video 😊
After you put the product in make sure to top of coolant levels in the radiator and overflow tank.
Do I need to flush out the old coolant? Ot just fill in the reservoir?
@@nomakulit If your coolant is all out which is likely if it overheated and blew a gasket, just pour it in. If not probably flush out the rest so it's empty. The product will work better on no coolant in the system. Once you pour the bottle in, top off the coolant in there and the overflow tank as well.
Is it better to put in the reservoir or radiator? It said either or.
@@huntermasi did this work for you? I know this was a year ago lol
Dose it has to have thermostat? And do I do it with a bad oil or do I change oil first before putting the sealer
Change oil afterwards, might get some product in your oil and it will damage barrings etc. because there is 'glass' in it which will grind...(liquid glass).
She still running?
Can u use this product on a BMW 750Li 2007
I would think so. Double check on the website. They have more details for you.
I’d be willing to bet $10 it’s your valve stems seals
Yes I used it in my 745li..2005
Ha. I’m here for my 95 740il. Mechanic said he got some stuff that he used it the part. Hoping it’ll fix the head gasket issue
Did it work?
Bro have to put empty without coolant or not?
No add it and top off your coolant.
I have Mitsubishi pajero
And get overwhelmed only when ac is on
Does it means head gasket is blown 😳?
Only when the AC is on? Not sure about that. Loosing antifreeze or seeing white smoke from exhaust?
WHITE SMOKE COMING FROM THE TAILPIPE
WATER LEAKING FROM THE TAILPIPE

Nothing of what you mentioned
Just overheating when ac is on
Installed new radiator but still
Water pump checked by mechanic after removing thermostat he said it works very well 👍
But I forgot to tell that I've changed ac compressor clutch before, maybe something 🤔 belongs to it?
@@mohammedsadoon2877 I am not sure that you have a head gasket problem than. I would double check the water pump and watch your antifreeze levels closely.
@@WiPartyTv thanks a lot 😊 🙏 for you
Every morning I check the coolant and it doesn't change still the same level.
Thanks again
@@mohammedsadoon2877 That sounds like a bad thermostat. Either not opening or closing.
I think I have combustion gasses getting in to my coolant. Is this for that kind of gasket problem?
What are you seeing? bubbles in the coolant? White smoke in the exhaust?
@@WiPartyTv the coolant is hot, I think too hot, the radiator hoes is collapsed when cold and firm and bloated when hot. I had the coolant system flushed and and it got worse. I have not tested for CO2 in the coolant yet, but may soon, if the Gasket fix liquid Aluminum fails to fix it. I put it in last night and we will see in a dat or two. Also I keep adding coolant and it disappears, but with no puddle.
@@WiPartyTv my oil is fine, not white or milky at all. There is a high, very high pitched noise that I think is gas escaping from the overflow reservoir. 2005 Ford Escape with 210k hard miles.
To be honest I am not sure on that one. My gut feel is this might not be your answer. I would do more digging into this before adding the stop leak. Especially if you don't have any other signs of a head gasket leak. The high pitch noise could be something as simple as a bad vacuum leak. Does anyone else with ideas for this?
@@WiPartyTv, how can I check for a vacuum leak?
The stop Leak is already in. It won’t do any harm, that it wouldn’t do if there was defiantly a gasket leak.
I have a 06 box truck with the V 10 Ford with 190,000 miles on.
No smoke, no leaks but I’m losing coolant somewhere. It idles rough at first start up and then run smooth after that. I was told I may have a blown head gasket or alike. It’s my work truck. It’s my bread and butter. I drive it easy. Thinking of trying this stuff or go truck shopping.
Should I give it a shot?
Seems like a good possibility. Have you checked the plug. I would give it a shot.
@@WiPartyTv,
The plug? You mean the spark plugs? They are new.
@@vh8765 Yeah the plugs. Did you pull one to see if they are discolored?
@@WiPartyTv,
Shop did them for me and they said they looked terrible. One was no worse than the other. The catalytic converter has some large holes drilled into it from the previous owner and the shop thinks the ugly plugs are the result of that.
It runs good and it doesn’t leak anything. I just have to add about a half gallon a week antifreeze.
What can I say, the truck was cheap.
Thanks man!!
@@vh8765 It could be a head gasket.
My oil is milky from coolant. So should I get an oil changed first, then apply the bars leak?
I would get an oil change first. Run the engine for a while and check the oil again. If the oil level increases you probably have a serious leak that is not good for this product. If the sealant gets into your oil system. It will be a bad day. I would contact Bars to see what they suggest for your situation.
Can someone help me please. I have head gasket sealant in my radiator, I’ve been topping the radiator up every second day with about a teaspoon full. I have no more sealant, do I buy another bottle or do I now top it up with water?
I would not use water. I would also contact BARs to see what they recommend.
WiPartyTv thanks for replying. I should have mentioned that I’m in Australia. The sealant I used isn’t BARS, I figured they all did the same, maybe not? I’ll ask my mechanic, he’s the one who put the sealant in, as I said, it wasn’t BARS, it come in a bright green plastic container and is used by the military , that’s all I know, lol.
@@ejgarden346 I would ask him for the product info and see if you can contact the manufacturer. MY guess is you might need to take another shot with another bottle. Or put a new head gasket in and see what's happening inside the motor. :(
Brian Radtke thank you Brian. I will contact the manufacturer tomorrow.
Do we have to remove than we used?
No you can leave it in.
@@mediaone7538 bro I did it and still smoking
How long did it last?
It did good. I actually sold the truck. But it was going strong.
Don't you have to mix it warm water and make sure there's no antifreeze in the radiator?
No add it and top off with coolant
There are 2 variants, this one you can add on coolant, the other one you need to drain the coolant before adding it in the system.

UPDATE Driven about 4500 miles. Still no signs of failure. no smoke no leaks. I definitely recommend this gasket sealer. 10/10
Looks easy but did you have water in your oil? If so did you change the oil before you did this ?
You could do an oil change later as this goes in with your antifreeze.
I'm going to try this I'm hoping it's going to work I have a 2001 Mercury Villager with over 210,000 Mi on it I can't afford to buy a new vehicle right now so I'm hoping that this will work so I can get the money to get a new one added note I just put a new alternator on it I was coming home from the garage and it quit blowing heat and the temperature hand went up . I went straight home and haven't drove it since I had somebody look at it and they said it had a blown head gasket
I tried this yesterday and so far it is working. I only drove it about 2 miles because of the weather. Was bad and today we got hit with snow and ice. I did start it up again today Feb 2 nd. No white smoke

Dont waste your time and money
This company has different type pf stop leak Buy the type that requires u to remove all antifreeze with the procedure below - completely different from yours
1. flush your radiator to remove ALL antifreeze coolant and contaminates from your radiator for it devrades the bonding process so u- do a full radiator flush until water runs clean
2.mix the product with it with 3 quarts of luke warm water before adding , not recommend this be done in cold climate below or near freezing - if so must be done indoors
3. There should be NO coolant in the radiator Your suppose to top it off with only pure water
4. The intervals of engine running ( until normal
Temp ) when the thermostat opens but be precise depending on the leak engine and engine size the it must be running idle at a certain RPM eg 1200 RPM
stop timeFor cooling is at ( 45 mins to 1 hour+ ) u can tell when you dont have any pressure gushing out of the reservoir and it is not hot
If you follow the directions to the T overheating , gas fumes in your radiator and bubbling usually goes awAy 2 to 3 tries meaning the product sealed the leak
This is your cue your done , flush your radiator completely to remove all the rest of the product that remains in your coolant for if left in there it will clogged your engine - remove ALL of the product and water by flushing the radiator, - flush until water runs clear -
Let it drip dry - DO NOT add water or coolant for 12 to 24 hours -
After it completely dries out - Add coolant and water
Also recommend doing an oil change …
After this incase the product seeped its way into the engine block oil side
Thanks for the info. What product were you using? The Professional

C'mon guys admit it, this product is only a quick fix for a couple of months so dodgy car dealers can offload expensive to repair failing cars !
Not necessarily. There are plenty of snake oil products out there, but they usually have a very short warranty period. This product has a lifetime warranty with money back or product replacement.
Yeah most head gasket sealers are a permanent fix.
I poured this all over the engine and all it did was start smoking. Didn’t fix my headlights at all.
Maybe you should have poured it over the headlights if that is what you were trying to fix. If your head gasket is bad try pouring it in with the oil. But for headlights you might want to try a little on a rag and buff the headlights till they are clean.
