No I didn't put them in - the rebuilder is in WV and I'm in FL, so I can't
take it back to them.

Is it available at a normal parts store? I am hesitant about putting "gunk"
in my new engine AND new radiator.

Flush after the stop leak is installed? So....drain the antifreeze, fill
with water and use the gunk...let it set up, flush and refill with 50/50
mix?

Yes, normally that is how the really strong stuff is used. You put it
in long enough with water until the leak stops, let it sit for a certain
length of time, then flush the crap out of it.

Check engine rebuilders for it. It should have directions.....

I also do not believe in using the crap on a 'new' engine, but if they
did a crappy clean and fit on one plug, how good are the rest,
especially the ones you can't see.
