    I'd be very surprised if that worked, head gaskets have to cope with pretty high pressures. I'd say try it out, but it could block your rad which would be very bad news.

    I have heard (from a fellow Rover enthusiast, he runs a Rover forum) that his local garage threw a bottle of this stuff into a k series that had HGF, apparently 20,000 miles later its still going, using no oil or coolant. Personally I wouldn't use it.

    Just to add, if the HG failure is due to actual gasket failure / wear then it may be worth a try. If however you have cooked an engine by running it with no coolant this tack probably won't work. Also if the root cause is the rad or water pump or something again this tack won't do any good.
