I wish engine builders of 30+ years of exp. would back you up, but they dont. Good luck.

Even engine builders/car mechanics of less than 30 years wont back that up.

I frigging hate stop leaks, few times I've had to fix cars with those in it

I've been a professional in the automotive field since 2005, I've worked on cars almost 10 years as a hobby and I'm trying to work my engineering degree on automotive research and development. I've never in this time have had any positive experiences with any stop-leak stuff. It just cakes up everything, worst was this one car, radiator was full of it, well.. we did the best we could, flushed it out, dunno what happened.
