You'd be surprised at how bad the stop leak stuff really is. My friend has a
radiator AC shop and well over half of the people that complain about poor
heat in their vehicles have plugged heater cores from, guess what, stop
leak. The stuff is OK in an emergency, but for long term, its a "you can pay
me now, or pay me later" thing.

Not that surprised - most of them are a fibreglass suspension. We have one
rather appropriately named product here called "Rad Weld" which is fair
warning !!

So have "Slick 50" and a good number of other questionable products.

Have YOU ever used Stop-Leak with succesful results?
