>> I read earlier this weekend about someone using pepper to stop the head >> gasket leak. Does this really work and what kind do I use.

I don't think there was any mention of it working on a head gasket leak. It has been known to get me home with a leaky radiator.

I mentioned my experience with it years ago, and I also pointed out that it is not a permanent fix. If you have a leak, your gonna have to deal with it. If you are in the middle of nowhere, with a can of pepper in your back pocket, it might get you to the middle of somewhere.

I would not expect it to have much of an effect on a head leaking, and if it did, you probably would have to be running 50% pepper :-)

Your mileage will most certainly vary.........
